Short dissipation times of proto-planetary discs - an artifact of selection effects?
Susanne Pfalzner, Manuel Steinhausen, Karl Menten
The frequency of discs around young stars, a key parameter for understanding planet formation, is most readily determined in young stellar clusters where many relatively coeval sta…
The evolutionary tracks of young massive star clusters
S. Pfalzner, G. Parmentier, M. Steinhausen +2
Stars mostly form in groups consisting of a few dozen to several ten thousand members. For 30 years, theoretical models provide a basic concept of how such star clusters form and d…
Sizes of protoplanetary discs after star-disc encounters
Andreas Breslau, Manuel Steinhausen, Kirsten Vincke +1
Most stars do not form in isolation, but as part of a star cluster or association. These young stars are initially surrounded by protoplanetary discs. In these cluster environments…
Does the mass distribution in discs influence encounter-induced losses in young star clusters?
Manuel Steinhausen, Susanne Pfalzner
One mechanism for the external destruction of protoplanetary discs in young dense clusters is tidal disruption during the flyby of another cluster member. The degree of mass loss i…
Disc-mass distribution in star-disc encounters
M. Steinhausen, C. Olczak, S. Pfalzner
Investigations of stellar encounters in cluster environments have demonstrated their potential influence on the mass and angular momentum of protoplanetary discs around young stars…
Accretion bursts in young stars driven by cluster environment
S. Pfalzner, J. Tackenberg, M. Steinhausen
The standard picture of accretion is a steady flow of matter from the disc onto the young star - a concept which assumes the star-disc system to be completely isolated. However, in…
