Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has the potential to reveal wonders
about the fundamental theory of nature at play in the extreme gravity regime, where the …

Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and
astonished us with their close-in orbits. They are a prime example of how exoplanets have …

We explore the evolution of stellar mass black hole binaries (BHBs) which are formed in the
self-gravitating discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Hardening due to three-body scattering …

We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is
to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with additional …

The quest for binary and dual supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the dawn of the multi-
messenger era is compelling. Detecting dual active galactic nuclei (AGN)–active SMBHs at …

Abstract 'Hot super-Earths'(or 'mini-Neptunes') between one and four times Earth's size with
period shorter than 100 d orbit 30–50 per cent of Sun-like stars. Their orbital configuration …

Jupiter and Saturn formed in a few million years (ref.) from a gas-dominated protoplanetary
disk, and were susceptible to gas-driven migration of their orbits on timescales of only∼ …

The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so-called pebble isolation
mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit …

The formation of planets depends on the underlying protoplanetary disc structure, which in
turn influences both the accretion and migration rates of embedded planets. The disc itself …

As planets form and grow within gaseous protoplanetary disks, the mutual gravitational
interaction between the disk and planet leads to the exchange of angular momentum and …
