30 THE BIG PROBLEM WITH MULTI-PLANET SYSTEMS IN CLUSTERS Large dynamical ranges in time, mass, position Round-off errors tend to cancel out in star cluster simulations, but are cumulative in planetary systems Energy checks difficult Cai et al. (in prep) Wang et al. (in prep)

37 FREE-FLOATING PLANETS - ORIGIN Sub-brown dwarfs (?) Gravitational fragmentation Ejected embryo Photo-eroded star Rogue planets (!) Ejected systems from planetary
38 POSSIBLE ORIGINS OF (ROGUE) FREE-FLOATING PLANETS Planet-planet scattering External forces (stellar encounters,, molecular clouds, Galactic tides, etc) Stellar evolution ~2 free-floating planets per main sequence star in the Galactic neighborhood (Sumi et al. 2011) 2GM v ffp > vescape = r
39 FREE-FLOATING PLANETS IN STAR CLUSTERS Free-floating planets start out with a higher average velocity than stars, since they are ejected super-virial population σ Some 2 ffp σ 2 stars +σ 2 ejection planets may immediately escape from the star cluster 2GM cluster (< r) v > vescape = r
40 PLANET EJECTION VELOCITIES 1 Prompt Delayed ejection after a close encounter Cumulative frequency ejection following a close encounter MI = 0.6 M (delayed) Malmberg et al. (2011) Hao, Kouwenhoven & Spurzem (2013) Wang, Kouwenhoven, et al. (in prep.) MI = 0.6 M (prompt) 0.8 MI = 1 M (delayed) MI = 1 M (prompt) veject /km s 1 10
41 ESCAPE TIMESCALES High-velocity planets escape within a dynamical time Low-velocity stars escape beyond a relaxation time Wang, Kouwenhoven, Zheng, Davies & Church (in prep.)
42 FREE-FLOATING PLANETS IN STAR CLUSTERS Nstar Nplanet The planet-to-star ratio decreases linearly with time average, free-floating planets escape star clusters 40% earlier than stars 5-10% of stars have a close encounter (< 1000 AU) with a free-floating planet Wang, Kouwenhoven et al. (in prep.) Nplanet /Nstar On time time
43 Part 4 Re-capture of free-floating planets
44 CAN FREE-FLOATING PLANETS BE RE-CAPTURED BY STARS? Gravitational focusing is less effective for capture of planets than for stars Capture works for stars, and results in wide orbits Kouwenhoven et al. (2010) Detection of free-floating planets and planets in wide orbits is very difficult
45 CAPTURE OF STARS AND PLANETS Requires fine-tuned 3-body encounters! (Goodman & Hut 1993)! Extremely unlikely in the Galactic field! (a few captures per galaxy)!!! Occurs regularly in star clusters (a few percent of the stars and free-floating planets) The lowest-mass body is usually kicked out
46 POSSIBLE ORIGINS OF WIDE-ORBIT PLANETS Gravitational fragmentation in disks few 100 AU, large masses (Li, Kouwenhoven & Stamatellos, in prep.) Planet-planet Capture scattering in existing planetary systems of free-floating planets which mechanism is dominant?

49 PROPERTIES OF RE-CAPTURED FREE-FLOATING PLANETS 3-6 % of free-floating planets is re-captured by another star Semi-major axes AU (highly eccentric) Gravitationally-focused random pairing Thermal eccentricity distribution Random orientation
50 EXOTIC PLANET HOSTS Black holes: ~5-10% capture a planet (in a star cluster) Neutron stars: Very few, because of high kick velocity White dwarfs: About 1-5% capture a planet (in a star cluster) Brown dwarfs: Relatively few, because of low masses Binary planets: Relatively few, because of low masses Existing planetary systems can also capture planets Perets & Kouwenhoven (2012)
51 EFFECTS ON EXISTING PLANETARY SYSTEMS Effect of captured planets on existing systems is often small: (i) small masses and (ii) large semimajor axes But can leave strong imprints on Oort clouds Orbital inclination is random w.r.t. existing planets and the stellar rotation retrograde orbits Kouwenhoven & Brasser (in prep.)
52 TOP STORIES ASTRONOMY There really could be a giant planet hidden far beyond Pluto Pluto is about forty times the distance from the Sun as Earth.

53 Part 5 Summary
54 SUMMARY (I) stars and planets form in star clusters observable imprints on planetary systems Most short-period planets in star clusters Scattering after stellar encounters? Formation? Few Many free-floating planets expected in young star clusters at early times (Nplanet/Nstar > 10%) observable? The planet-to-star ratio in clusters decreases linearly with time (planets escape ~40% earlier)
55 SUMMARY (2) Single-planet systems in open clusters: Most with a < 100 AU survive Most with a > 1000 AU get disrupted 5-10% of cluster stars have close encounters (< 1000 AU) with a free-floating planet 1%-10% of free-floating planets re-captured by other massive objects in star clusters wideorbit planets Work in progress: N-body evolution of open/ globular clusters with full treatment of multiplanet systems (Cai, Wang, Kouwenhoven, Spurzem, in prep.)
