Disc lifetime distribution as a function of the mass of host star
Susanne Pfalzner, Furkan Dincer, Nienke van der Marel +1
The lifetime of protoplanetary discs is a critical factor for planet formation. Although the mean disc lifetime provides an estimate of the typical period available for planet form…
Towards FAIR Astrophysical Simulations
Susanne Pfalzner, Stephan Hachinger, Jolanta Zjupa +4
Reproducibility is a cornerstone of science. FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data is often a vital step towards testing the reproducibility of results. The…
TNO colours provide new evidence for a past close flyby of another star to the Solar System
Susanne Pfalzner, Frank W. Wagner, Paul Gibbon
Thousands of small bodies, known as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), orbit the Sun beyond Neptune. TNOs are remnants of the planets' formation from a disc of gas and dust, so it is…
Irregular moons possibly injected from the outer solar system by a stellar flyby
Susanne Pfalzner, Amith Govind, Frank Wagner
The irregular moons orbit the giant planets on distant, inclined, and eccentric trajectories, in sharp contrast with the coplanar and quasicircular orbits of the regular moons. The…
