SUMMARY:Understanding Planetary Evolution with Eclipsing Disks & Trans
 iting Planets\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Joey Rodriguez\,\, Harvard CfA\
 , Michigan State 1/2021
DESCRIPTION:<br>
\nThe success of ground-based transit and RV surveys\
 , and the Kepler/K2 and TESS missions\, have shifted the exoplanet fie
 ld from pure discovery to a combination of discovery\, demographic ana
 lysis\, and detailed characterization\, especially for exoplanet atmos
 pheres. Unfortunately\, most known transiting exoplanet hosts are too 
 faint to permit detailed characterization. We are using data from the 
 TESS\, Kepler/K2\, and ground-based transit surveys to find keystone p
 lanetary systems around bright stars that can help address specific qu
 estions about planet formation and evolution. We are also studying the
  birthplaces of planets by searching for occultations of newly formed 
 stars by their protoplanetary disks with our Disk Eclipse Search with 
 KELT (DESK) survey. These systems provide insight into the conditions 
 required for planet formation. I will describe our recent results from
  both projects and discuss how we will study these types of objects in
  future surveys such as LSST.<br>
