Accretion of tidally disrupted asteroids onto white dwarfs: direct accretion versus disk processing

Daohai Li, Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies

Atmospheric heavy elements have been observed in more than a quarter of white dwarfs (WDs) at different cooling ages, indicating ongoing accretion of asteroidal material, whilst on…

Encounters involving planetary systems in birth environments: the significant role of binaries

Daohai Li, Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies

Most stars form in a clustered environment. Both single and binary stars will sometimes encounter planetary systems in such crowded environments. Encounter rates for binaries may b…

Capture of satellites during planetary encounters A case study of the Neptunian moons Triton and Nereid

Daohai Li, Anders Johansen, Alexander J. Mustill +2

Single-binary scattering may lead to an exchange where the single object captures a component of the binary, forming a new binary. This has been well studied in encounters between…

The origin of Neptune's unusual satellites from a planetary encounter

Daohai Li, Apostolos A. Christou

The Neptunian satellite system is unusual, comprising Triton, a large ( km) moon on a close-in, circular, yet retrograde orbit, flanked by Nereid, the largest irregular s…

Fly-by encounters between two planetary systems II: Exploring the interactions of diverse planetary system architectures

Daohai Li, Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies

Planetary systems formed in clusters may be subject to stellar encounter flybys. Here we create a diverse range of representative planetary systems with different orbital scales an…

Fly-by encounters between two planetary systems I: solar system analogues

Daohai Li, Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies

Stars formed in clusters can encounter other stars at close distances. In typical open clusters in the Solar neighbourhood containing hundreds or thousands of member stars, ten to…
