Flyby-induced high-eccentricity migration and the prevalence of hot Jupiters in M67

Mika V. Kontiainen, Cathie J. Clarke, Andrew J. Winter

Few planetary systems form in isolation. Rather, interactions in their birth environments may sculpt their architectures or drive them into unstable configurations. Here we study t…

Dust trapping, collisional velocity and velocity dispersion in gravito-turbulent discs

Cristiano Longarini, Cathie J. Clarke, Richard A. Booth +1

High-resolution ALMA observations indicate that planet formation is already well underway in the earliest stages of disc evolution, when discs are typically massive enough to be re…

Angular Momentum of Planet-Forming Disks: Implications for Infall Driven Misalignments

Aashish Gupta, Cristiano Longarini, L. Ilsedore Cleeves +5

Context. A significant fraction (>30%) of planet-forming disks and planetary are misaligned with respect to the rotational axis of their host stars, yet the dominant mechanism resp…

Can giant impacts be directly detected in other star systems?

Pavan Tanna, Simon Lock, Amy Bonsor +2

Giant impacts, collisions between planet-sized bodies, play an important role in planet and moon formation. As we enter a new era of large-scale surveys, such as \textit{Gaia} and…

A Quadruple Excess in Wide Binary Systems: Evidence for Correlated Binary Formation

Dolev Bashi, Cathie J. Clarke, Vasily Belokurov

Understanding the multiplicity of stellar systems and the correlations between their hierarchical components provides crucial insights into star formation processes. If binary comp…

A Quality Framework for Testing Gravity with Wide Binaries: No Evidence for MOND

Stephen A. Cookson, Indranil Banik, Kareem El-Badry +4

Wide binaries (WBs) offer a unique opportunity to test gravity in the low-acceleration regime, where modifications such as Milgromian dynamics (MOND) predict measurable deviations…
