Post main sequence planetary system evolution
The fates of planetary systems provide unassailable insights into their formation and represent rich cross disciplinary dynamical laboratories. Mounting observations of post main sequence planetary systems necessitate a complementary level of theoretical scrutiny. Here, I review the diverse dynamical processes which affect planets, asteroids, comets and pebbles as their parent stars evolve into giant branch, white dwarf and neutron stars. This reference provides a foundation for the interpretation and modelling of currently known systems and upcoming discoveries.
