The role of magnetic fields in disk formation, evolution, and planet formation

With the launch of JWST, supplemented by ground-based observatories (ALMA, VLT, the future ELT), the field of disk and planet formation is expanding. These new observational progress, as well as the development of comprehensive models and numerical simulations including more and more physical ingredients, open an avenue to meaningful combination of results from the different communities. The Core2disk-III workshop aims at transcending the historical divisions between communities, linking together observers, theoreticians, and experimentalists, and covering all evolutionary stages from disk formation to disk dispersal.
Unlike typical conferences, the daily schedule of Core2disk is composed of informal talks in the morning, and collaborative work or discussions in the rest of the day, with dedicated offices, small meeting rooms, and open lounge spaces. The objective will be to foster in-depth discussions on current issues and to define future lines of work. In particular, four general themes will be discussed:
Week 1: Disk formation and early evolution: the role of magnetic fields, dust, and chemistry.
Monday: Magnetic fields, non-ideal MHD, collapse models
Tuesday: Observations of disks and B fields
Wednesday: Dynamics: infall, streamers, outflows, fragmentation
Thursday: Gas ionization, chemistry
Friday: Dust evolution, polarization
Week 2: Constraints on magnetic winds vs turbulent disk evolution from population surveys, from Class 0 to Class II.
Monday: Disk surveys in the continuum: Which evolution from Class 0 to Class II?
Tuesday: Estimates of gas masses, sizes, and accretion rates
Wednesday: Disk population synthesis models: achievements
Thursday: Photoevaporation models: current status and open issues
Friday: Open issues: Magnetic flux diffusion and environmental effects
Week 3: Disk winds and dead zone location: theories confront observations.
Monday: Physics of MHD disk winds and dead-zone location
Tuesday: Observational evidence of disk winds and their properties
Wednesday: Wind origin: synthetic observations of MHD and photoevaporative winds versus observations
Thursday: Alternative scenarios
Friday: Open issues (joint discussion)
Week 4: Planet formation and migration in magnetised disks (including rings, gaps, and transition disks)
Monday: Observations of PPD structures
Tuesday: Dust growth, streaming instability, planetesimal formation
Wednesday: Models of planet formation
Thursday: Detailed studies of planet migration
Friday: Solar System constraints, open questions, and future prospects
