description Alan Boss Overview
Alan Boss is an American astrophysicist at Carnegie Institution for Science whose work examines how stars and planets form. He is associated with the gravitational-instability, or disk-instability, model, in which a sufficiently massive and cool protoplanetary disk can break into self-gravitating clumps that develop into giant planets. His research is relevant to studies of gas-giant formation, protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, and planetary systems beyond the Solar System.
