B.S., Harvard University. Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Bodenheimer's work on planet formation started in about 1974. He was one of the first to calculate hydrostatic and hydrodynamic evolution of giant planets, in spherical symmetry using an adapted stellar evolution code, initially under the assumption that they formed as gravitationally bound gaseous subcondensations in the solar nebula. This work then developed into a collaboration, centered at NASA-Ames, which was based on... more »
