Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Spring 1988 workshop at the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, reviewed the rapid progress now being made on our understanding of how planetary systems form. This volume reviews our present knowledge, summarizes outstanding problems and provides a focus for future theoretical work.
