Abstract

Exoplanets are a common outcome of the star-formation process.

Some of the most relevant properties of planetary systems are set during their formation: the number of planets, their mass, composition, and planetary architecture.

In this talk, I will focus on what we have learned about planet formation around the most common type of stars: late M-dwarfs and binaries, and how the combination of the latest ALMA, JWST, and VLT observations gives us a full picture of the planet-formation environment.
