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 …

FAUST–VIII. The protostellar disc of VLA 1623–2417W and its streamers imaged by ALMA

S Mercimek, L Podio, C Codella… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
More than 50 per cent of solar-mass stars form in multiple systems. It is therefore crucial to
investigate how multiplicity affects the star and planet formation processes at the protostellar …

Exciting spiral arms in protoplanetary discs from flybys

JL Smallwood, CC Yang, Z Zhu… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Spiral arms are observed in numerous protoplanetary discs. These spiral arms can be
excited by companions, either on bound or unbound orbits. We simulate a scenario where …
