Planet-forming disc evolution is not independent of the star formation and feedback process
in giant molecular clouds. In particular, OB stars emit UV radiation that heats and disperses …

Star and planet formation are inextricably linked. In the earliest phases of the collapse of a
protostar, a disc forms around the young star and such discs are observed for the first …

Most stars form and spend their early life in regions of enhanced stellar density. Therefore,
the evolution of protoplanetary discs (PPDs) hosted by such stars are subject to the …

We demonstrate that planet formation via pebble accretion is sensitive to external
photoevaporation of the outer disc. In pebble accretion, planets grow by accreting from a flux …

We present a new fried grid of mass-loss rates for externally far-ultraviolet (FUV) irradiated
protoplanetary discs. As a precursor to the new grid, we also explore the microphysics of …

We present an open access grid of 3930 calculations of externally evaporating
protoplanetary discs. This spans a range of disc sizes (1–400 au), disc masses, UV field …

Protoplanetary discs form and evolve in a wide variety of stellar environments and are
accordingly exposed to a wide range of ambient far-ultraviolet (FUV) field strengths. Strong …

Protoplanetary discs spend their lives in the dense environment of a star-forming region.
While there, they can be affected by nearby stars through external photoevaporation and …

We couple star cluster formation and feedback simulations of a Carina-like star-forming
region with 1D disc evolutionary models to study the impact of external photoevaporation on …

Planet-forming circumstellar discs are a fundamental part of the star formation process.
Since stars form in a hierarchical fashion in groups of up to hundreds or thousands, the UV …
