Very Wide Binary Stars as the Primary Source of Stellar Collisions in the Galaxy
Nathan A. Kaib, Sean N. Raymond
We present numerical simulations modeling the orbital evolution of very wide binaries, pairs of stars separated by over ~1000 AU. Due to perturbations from other passing stars and…
The Influence of Outer Solar System Architecture on the Structure and Evolution of the Oort Cloud
Alexia R. Lewis, Thomas Quinn, Nathan A. Kaib
We study the influence of outer Solar System architecture on the structural evolution of the Oort Cloud (OC) and the flux of Earth-crossing comets. In particular, we seek to quanti…
Planetary System Disruption by Galactic Perturbations to Wide Binary Stars
Nathan A. Kaib, Sean N. Raymond, Martin Duncan
Nearly half of the exoplanets found within binary star systems reside in very wide binaries with average stellar separations beyond 1,000 AU (1 AU being the Earth-Sun distance), ye…
