The Effects of a Stellar Encounter on a Planetesimal Disk

Abstract

We investigate the effects of a passing stellar encounter on a planetesimal disk through analytical calculations and numerical simulations, and derive the boundary radius ($a_{\mathrm{planet}}$) outside which planet formation is inhibited by disruptive collisions with high relative velocities.
