A triple protostar system formed via fragmentation of a gravitationally unstable disk

JJ Tobin, KM Kratter, MV Persson, LW Looney… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Binary and multiple star systems are a frequent outcome of the star formation process, and
as a result almost half of all stars with masses similar to that of the Sun have at least one …

Close encounters: How stellar flybys shape planet-forming discs

N Cuello, F Ménard, DJ Price - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2023 - Springer
We review the role of stellar flybys and encounters in shaping planet-forming discs around
young stars, based on the published literature on this topic in the last 30 years. Since most …
