Post-main-sequence planetary system evolution

D Veras - Royal Society Open Science, 2016 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The fates of planetary systems provide unassailable insights into their formation and
represent rich cross-disciplinary dynamical laboratories. Mounting observations of post-main …

Origin and evolution of the cometary reservoirs

L Dones, R Brasser, N Kaib, H Rickman - Space Science Reviews, 2015 - Springer
Comets have three known reservoirs: the roughly spherical Oort Cloud (for long-period
comets), the flattened Kuiper Belt (for ecliptic comets), and, surprisingly, the asteroid belt (for …

Formation of planetary debris discs around white dwarfs–I. Tidal disruption of an extremely eccentric asteroid

D Veras, ZM Leinhardt, A Bonsor… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2014 - academic.oup.com

Tidal disruption of planetary bodies by white dwarfs I: a hybrid sph-analytical approach

U Malamud, HB Perets - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We introduce a new hybrid method to perform high-resolution tidal disruption simulations, at
arbitrary orbits. An sph code is used to simulate tidal disruptions only in the immediate …

The science of sungrazers, sunskirters, and other near-sun comets

GH Jones, MM Knight, K Battams, DC Boice… - Space Science …, 2018 - Springer
This review addresses our current understanding of comets that venture close to the Sun,
and are hence exposed to much more extreme conditions than comets that are typically …

Improving the GJK algorithm for faster and more reliable distance queries between convex objects
