Close encounters with the Death Star: Interactions between collapsed
  bodies and the Solar System
  Aims: We aim to investigate the consequences of a fast massive stellar
remnant - a black hole (BH) or a neutron star (NS) - encountering a planetary
system. Methods: We modelled a close encounter between the actual Solar System
(SS) and a $2\,M_\odot$ NS and a $10\,M_\odot$ BH, using a few-body symplectic
integrator. We used a range of impact parameters, orbital phases at the start
of the simulation derived from the current SS orbital parameters, encounter
velocities, and incidence angles relative to the plane of the SS. Results: We
give the distribution of possible outcomes, such as when the SS remains bound,
when it suffers a partial or complete disruption, and in which cases the
intruder is able to capture one or more planets, yielding planetary systems
around a BH or a NS. We also show examples of the long-term stability of the
captured planetary systems.
