Planetary systems in a star cluster I: the Solar system scenario
Francesco Flammini Dotti, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Maxwell Xu Cai +1
Young stars are mostly found in dense stellar environments, and even our own Solar system may have formed in a star cluster. Here, we numerically explore the evolution of planetary…
Galactic Tide and Local Stellar Perturbations on the Oort Cloud: Creation of Interstellar Comets
Santiago Torres, Maxwell X. Cai, A. G. A. Brown +1
Comets in the Oort cloud evolve under the influence of internal and external perturbations, such as giant planets, stellar passages, and the galactic tidal field. We aim to study t…
Survivability of planetary systems in young and dense star clusters
Arjen van Elteren, Simon Portegies Zwart, Inti Pelupessy +2
We perform a simulation using the Astrophysical Multipurpose Software Environment of the Orion Trapezium star cluster in which the evolution of the stars and the dynamics of planet…
Planets In Young Massive Clusters: On the survivability of planets in young massive clusters and its implication of planet orbital architectures in globular clusters
Maxwell Xu Cai, S. Portegies Zwart, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven +1
As of August 2019, among the more than 4000 confirmed exoplanets, only one has been detected in a globular cluster (GC) M4. The scarce of exoplanet detections motivates us to emplo…
