SUMMARY:Rogue Worlds 3
DESCRIPTION:Free-floating\, or “rogue”\, planetary-mass objects have been discovered wandering through the Galaxy unbound to any star. The origins of these objects remain poorly understood\, and likely involve a combination of many different processes relevant to star and planet formation. \nDirect imaging surveys of young star-forming regions continue to find hundreds of high-mass rogue planets\, though it remains an ongoing theoretical challenge to determine what fraction represent ejected planets as opposed to aborted stellar embryos. Meanwhile\, upcoming space-based microlensing programs\, such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, are poised to vastly increase our sample of free-floating planets at masses extending to Earth-mass and below\, opening a new window into their origin and demographics. \nFollowing the success of previous workshops\, Rogue Worlds 3 is a 4-day workshop designed to bring together researchers at the forefront of different aspects of the study of free-floating planets. Key focal areas include: \n– Microlensing: Ground- and space-based detections\, demographics\, and mass functions.\n– Direct Imaging: Observational breakthroughs\, characterization of young planetary-mass objects\, and atmospheric modeling.\n– Dynamics: Modeling planetary ejection mechanisms\, stellar cluster dynamics\, and the fate of outer planetary systems.\n– Moons Orbiting Rogue Worlds: Theoretical constraints\, formation mechanics\, and potential detection channels for exomoons bound to free-floating hosts.
