Can planet-planet binaries survive in star-forming regions?

Richard J. Parker, Simon P. Goodwin, Jessica L. Diamond

Significant numbers of free-floating planetary-mass objects have been discovered in nearby star-forming regions by the James Webb Space Telescope, including a substantial number (4…

Dynamical Evolution of Substructured Star Clusters at 3 kpc from the Galactic Center

So-Myoung Park, Jihye Shin, Sang-Hyun Chun +3

We investigate the evolution of initial fractal clusters at 3 kpc from the Galactic Center (GC) of the Milky Way and show how red supergiant clusters (RSGCs)-like objects, which ar…

Deviations from the universal Initial Mass Function in binary star clusters

Sunder S. K. Singh-Bal, George A. Blaylock-Squibbs, Richard J. Parker +1

The stellar mass distribution in star-forming regions, stellar clusters and associations, the Initial Mass Function (IMF), appears to be invariant across different star-forming env…

The dynamical evolution of low-mass hydrogen-burning stars, brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects formed through disc fragmentation

Yun Li, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, D. Stamatellos +1

Theory and simulations suggest that it is possible to form low-mass hydrogen-burning stars, brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects via disc fragmentation. As disc fragmentation re…

How does a low-mass cut-off in the stellar IMF affect the evolution of young star clusters?

M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, S. P. Goodwin, R. de Grijs +2

We investigate how different stellar initial mass functions (IMFs) can affect the mass loss and survival of star clusters. We find that IMFs with radically different low-mass cut-o…

The same, but different: Stochasticity in binary destruction

Richard J. Parker, Simon P. Goodwin

Observations of binaries in clusters tend to be of visual binaries with separations of 10s - 100s au. Such binaries are 'intermediates' and their destruction or survival depends on…
