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…
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…
Disc Frequencies for Brown Dwarfs in the Upper Scorpius OB Association: Implications for Brown Dwarf Formation Theories
B. Riaz, N. Lodieu, S. Goodwin +2
We have investigated the brown dwarf (BD) and stellar disc fractions in the Upper Scorpius OB Association (USco) and compared them with several other young regions. We have compile…
The origin of very wide binary stars
M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, S. P. Goodwin, Melvyn B. Davies +3
A large population of fragile, wide (> 1000 AU) binary systems exists in the Galactic field and halo. These wide binary stars cannot be primordial because of the high stellar densi…
