SpaceHub: A high-performance gravity integration toolkit for few-body problems in astrophysics

Yi-Han Wang, Nathan Leigh, Bin Liu +1

We present the open source few-body gravity integration toolkit {\tt SpaceHub}. {\tt SpaceHub} offers a variety of algorithmic methods, including the unique algorithms AR-Radau, AR…

Partial tidal disruption events by stellar mass black holes: gravitational instability of stream and impact from remnant core

Yi-Han Wang, Rosalba Perna, Philip J. Armitage

In dense star clusters, such as globular and open clusters, dynamical interactions between stars and black holes (BHs) can be extremely frequent, leading to various astrophysical t…

Hot Jupiter and ultra-cold Saturn formation in dense star clusters

Yi-Han Wang, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Rosalba Perna +1

The discovery of high incidence of hot Jupiters in dense clusters challenges the field-based hot Jupiter formation theory. In dense clusters, interactions between planetary systems…

Giant planet swaps during close stellar encounters

Yi-Han Wang, Rosalba Perna, Nathan W. C. Leigh

The discovery of planetary systems outside of the solar system has challenged some of the tenets of planetary formation. Among the difficult-to-explain observations, are systems wi…

Planetary Architectures in Interacting Stellar Environments

Yi-Han Wang, Rosalba Perna, Nathan W. C. Leigh

The discovery of Exoplanetary Systems has challenged some of the theories of planet formation, which assume unperturbed evolution of the host star and its planets. However, in star…

The cosmological distribution of compact object mergers from dynamical interactions with SMBH binaries

Yi-Han Wang, Nathan Leigh, Alberto Sesana +1

We combine sophisticated high precision scattering experiments, together with results from the Millenium-II simulation, to compute the cosmic merger rate of bound compact object (C…
