Abstract: While many observed debris disks are thought to have gaps suggestive of the presence of planets, direct imaging surveys do not find many high mass planets in these systems. We investigate if divergent migration is… read more here.

Abstract: We perform N-body simulations of the early phases of open cluster evolution including a large population of planetesimals, initially arranged in Kuiper-belt like discs around each star. Using a new, fourth-order, and time-reversible N-body code… read more here.
