Close encounters in young stellar clusters: implications for planetary systems in the solar neighbourhood
Daniel Malmberg, Francesca De Angeli, Melvyn B. Davies +3
The stars that populate the solar neighbourhood were formed in stellar clusters. Through N-body simulations of these clusters, we measure the rate of close encounters between stars…
A new constraint for gamma-ray burst progenitor mass
Josefin Larsson, Andrew J. Levan, Melvyn B. Davies +1
Recent comparative observations of long duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and core collapse supernovae (cc SN) host galaxies demonstrate that these two, highly energetic transient…
The instability of planetary systems in binaries: how the Kozai mechanism leads to strong planet-planet interactions
Daniel Malmberg, Melvyn B. Davies, John E. Chambers
In this letter we consider the evolution of a planetary system around a star inside a wide binary. We simulate numerically the evolution of the planetary orbits for both co-planar…
