  1. Development of tools for computer modeling of protoplanetary disks and planet formation. Computer Simulation and Visualization Laboratory Bojan Pečnik (University of Split, Croatia) Dejan Vinković (dejan@ias.edu) (University of Split, Croatia; Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) www.APhyID.org

  2. ApID - Astrophysics Initiative in Dalmatia Business Strategy for 2006-2011: www.APhyID.org Physics Department University of Split Non-profit Non-government Organization (NGO) Dalmatia

  3. www.APhyID.org ApID is a collaboration of activities, institutions, and individuals, from professional scientists to amateur astronomers. ApID helps collaboration members to • coordinate their research, education, and outreach activities, • reduce operational costs through synergies and common logistical resources, • increase public visibility, and enhance fundraising opportunities • ApID components: EDUCATION Graduate program in astrophysics (Physics Department, University of Split) RESEARCH (Physics Department, University of Split and future astrophysics institute) OUTREACH (Physics Department, University of Split and Society znanost.org)

  4. www.APhyID.org Research programs of ApID “From dust to life” a study of the origin of planets and their evolution, the search for extrasolar planets, the transport of organic and inorganic material to the Earth, astrobiology “Large-scale computations and data mining” a synergy of computer science and astronomy and astrophysics, supercomputing, data mining in huge datasets For FP7: capacity building, research infrastructure, new facilities, new emerging resources, science in society

  5. www.APhyID.org • Planned (FP7) Project • Modeling of protoplanetary disks, planet formation and evolution of planetary systems • Research topics: • Radiative transfer and structure of protoplanetary disks • Planet formation and structure of protoplanets • Dust dynamics and dust collision with planetary atmospheres (meteors) • Long-term evolution of planetary systems • Detection of extrasolar planets (VLT, COROT)

  6. Extrasolar planets High-altitude meteors Protoplanetary disk + outflow Protoplanet structure and evolution of planetary systems

  7. www.APhyID.org • Planned (FP7) Project • Computer simulation and • visualization laboratory • Supercomputing support for astrophysics projects • Interdisciplinary center • Computer cluster + support staff • Visualization support for research and outreach

  8. www.APhyID.org • Planned (FP7) Project • Outreach • General public • Elementary and high schools students • Amateur astronomers • “The Sky as a Present” • (http://nebo.znanost.org) – active since 2004 • Combined with a research on social impacts • of outreach
