Effects of capturing a wide-orbit planet on planetary systems: system stability and Habitable Zone bombardment rates
Giorgi Kokaia, Melvyn B. Davies, Alexander J. Mustill
A large fraction of stars are formed in dense clusters. In the cluster, close encounters between stars at distances less than 100 au are common. It has been shown that during close…
The hot dayside and asymmetric transit of WASP-189b seen by CHEOPS
M. Lendl, Sz. Csizmadia, A. Deline +102
The CHEOPS space mission dedicated to exoplanet follow-up was launched in December 2019, equipped with the capacity to perform photometric measurements at the 20 ppm level. As CHEO…
The CHEOPS mission
Willy Benz, Christopher Broeg, Andrea Fortier +107
The CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) was selected in 2012, as the first small mission in the ESA Science Programme and successfully launched in December 2019. CHEOPS is…
Encounters involving planetary systems in birth environments: the significant role of binaries
Daohai Li, Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies
Most stars form in a clustered environment. Both single and binary stars will sometimes encounter planetary systems in such crowded environments. Encounter rates for binaries may b…
Oumuamuas passing through molecular clouds
Susanne Pfalzner, Melvyn B. Davies, Giorgi Kokaia +1
The detections of 1I/Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov within just two years demonstrate impressively that interstellar objects (ISOs) must be common in the Milky Way. Once released from the…
Making massive stars in the Galactic Centre via accretion onto low-mass stars within an accretion disc
Melvyn B. Davies, Doug N. C. Lin
The origin of the population of very massive stars observed within pc of the supermassive black hole in the Galactic Centre is a mystery. Tidal forces from the black hol…
