A Framework for Linking Pre- and Post-Common Envelope Binary Properties with Star Clusters: The First Demonstration with a Massive White Dwarf+M Dwarf Binary in Alessi 12

Steffani M. Grondin, Maria R. Drout, Jason Nordhaus +12

Common envelope (CE) evolution is a critical phase in the lives of binary stars, producing close binaries that are progenitors of type Ia supernovae and gravitational wave sources.…

Life is But a Stream: The Distribution of Planetary Systems Along Stellar Streams and their Properties

Jeremy J. Webb, Milica Ivetic, Maxwell X. Cai +2

The majority of discovered exoplanets have been observed orbiting field stars as opposed to within a star cluster. To determine whether the lack of observed exoplanets in star clus…

Oort Cloud Formation and Evolution in Star Clusters

Justine C. Obidowski, Jeremy J. Webb, Simon Portegies Zwart +1

It is unknown if an Oort cloud reaches its maximum mass within its star's birth cluster or millions of years later. Complicating the Oort cloud evolution process is the fact that c…

Towards characterizing dark matter subhalo perturbations in stellar streams with graph neural networks

Peter Xiangyuan Ma, Keir K. Rogers, Ting S. Li +4

The phase space of stellar streams is proposed to detect dark substructure in the Milky Way through the perturbations created by passing subhalos - and thus is a powerful test of t…

A systematic analysis of star cluster disruption by tidal shocks -- II. Predicting star cluster dissolution rates from a time-series analysis of their tidal histories

Jeremy J. Webb, Marta Reina-Campos, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen

Most of the dynamical mass loss from star clusters is thought to be caused by the time-variability of the tidal field (``tidal shocks''). Systematic studies of tidal shocks have be…

Stream Members Only: Data-Driven Characterization of Stellar Streams with Mixture Density Networks

Nathaniel Starkman, Jacob Nibauer, Jo Bovy +4

Stellar streams are sensitive probes of the Milky Way's gravitational potential. The mean track of a stream constrains global properties of the potential, while its fine-grained su…
