Modern View on the Formation of the Solar System

Joanna Drążkowska

Our understanding of planet formation is being transformed thanks to the exoplanet detections and observations of circumstellar disks, but also the increasing precision of measurements of the Solar System meteorites. From all fronts, there is increasing evidence that planet formation starts already during the circumstellar disk buildup. Thus, the architecture of the Solar System as we know it today may be intimately connected to the earliest phases of the solar disk evolution. In this contribution, I describe the main developments that occurred in our understanding of the Solar System formation in the recent years.
