Hints for hidden planetary companions to hot Jupiters in stellar binaries

Adrian S. Hamers

Searches for stellar companions to hot Jupiters (HJs) have revealed that planetary systems hosting a HJ are approximately three times more likely to have a stellar companion with a…

On the formation of hot and warm Jupiters via secular high-eccentricity migration in stellar triples

Adrian S. Hamers

Hot Jupiters (HJs) are Jupiter-like planets orbiting their host star in tight orbits of a few days. They are commonly believed not to have formed in situ, requiring inwards migrati…

The evolution of hierarchical triple star-systems

S. Toonen, A. Hamers, S. Portegies Zwart

Field stars are frequently formed in pairs, and many of these binaries are part of triples or even higher-order systems. Even though, the principles of single stellar evolution and…

White dwarf pollution by planets in stellar binaries

Adrian S. Hamers, Simon F. Portegies Zwart

Approximately of white dwarfs (WDs) show signs of pollution by metals, which is likely due to the accretion of tidally disrupted planetary material. Models invoking p…

Probing the formation of planetesimals in the Galactic Centre using Sgr A* flares

Adrian S. Hamers, Simon F. Portegies Zwart

Flares in X-ray and near infrared are observed above the quiescent emission of the supermassive black hole (SBH) in the Galactic Centre (GC) at a rate of approximately once per day…

Relativistic dynamics of stars near a supermassive black hole

Adrian S. Hamers, Simon F. Portegies Zwart, David Merritt

General relativistic precession limits the ability of gravitational encounters to increase the eccentricity of orbits near a supermassive black hole (SBH). This "Schwarzschild…
