First early-career researcher workshop of CRC1831 "Multiplicity of Stars and Planets"
Multiplicity is a key driver of stellar and planetary evolution, shaping systems from their formation to their ultimate fate. Recent breakthroughs — from ALMA and Gaia to gravitational-wave detectors and large spectroscopic surveys — have revealed how binary and multiple systems underpin phenomena as diverse as planet dynamics, mass transfer, explosive transients, and compact object mergers.
This workshop brings together observers, theorists, and computational modelers focusing on the study of the origins and architectures of multiple systems, the physical processes governing their interactions, and their long-term evolutionary pathways. Invited speakers are early-career researchers, fostering a vibrant, forward-looking community across the full multi-messenger spectrum and a broad range of numerical methods, including hydrodynamics, population synthesis, N-body dynamics, and machine learning. Our goal is to forge a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary framework for understanding how multiplicity governs the life cycle of stars and planetary systems.
