The Maximum Offsets of Binary Neutron Star Mergers from Host Galaxies

Ilya Mandel, Om Sharan Salafia, Andrew Levan, Paul Disberg • The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2026)

We analytically derive, and illustrate with a population synthesis model, the maximum offset of binary neutron star mergers ejected from their host galaxies. This approximate maximum offset is 300 kpc $\times \,{({v}_{{\rm{esc}}}/500\,{\rm{...

Where Do Hot Jupiters Come from? Revisiting Tidal Disruption and Ejection in High-eccentricity Migration

Qianli Fan, Shang-Fei Liu • The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2026)

The origin of hot Jupiters remains a key open question. In the high-eccentricity migration scenario, traditional coreless models predict a strict tidal exclusion zone within ∼2.7 tidal radii r _t , in which giant planets are either fully di...
