"The birth of stars and (exo)planets: current perspectives and upcoming challenges"

Jérôme BOUVIER  
Institut de Planétologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble (IPAG), CNRS / Université Grenoble Alpes

Every year, 3 new suns appear in the Milky Way. Where do they come from? What will become of them?
Why are newborn stars always associated with the great clouds of gas that stretch along the spiral arms of our galaxy?
Are these young stars already accompanied by a planetary procession, like our own solar system?
And where does the original material come from? Are exo-planetary systems likely to harbor
life? To all these questions and more, today's largest ground and space-based telescopes are providing increasingly precise answers.
