    Distinguishing Tidal Disruption Events from Impostors

    Recent claimed detections of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in multi-wavelength data have opened potential new windows into the evolution and properties of otherwise dormant supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in...

    The wide-binary origin of (2014) MU69-like Kuiper belt contact binaries

    Following its flyby and first imaging of the Pluto–Charon binary, the New Horizons spacecraft visited the Kuiper belt object (KBO) 2014 MU69 (also known as (486958) Arrokoth). The imaging showed MU69 to be a cont...

    A multiple-impact origin for the Moon

    The hypothesis of lunar origin by a single giant impact can explain some aspects of the Earth–Moon system. However, it is difficult to reconcile giant-impact models with the compositional similarity of the Ear...

    A primordial origin for the compositional similarity between the Earth and the Moon

    The Moon is thought to have formed mainly from a giant impactor striking the Earth but it has seemed odd that the Earth and its impactor (and hence the Moon) had such similar compositions; here simulations of ...

    The Multiple Origin of Blue Straggler Stars: Theory vs. Observations

    In this chapter we review the various suggested channels for the formation and evolution of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in different environments and their observational predictions. These include mass transfe...
