معرفی
Elke Pilat-Lohinger is a researcher at the Department of Astrophysics, University of Vienna, with expertise in planetary dynamics and exoplanetary systems. Her work focuses on understanding the dynamics of binary star systems, including their impact on planetary habitability, orbital stability, and collisional processes. She leads or contributes to projects like 'Chaotic-Streams & Risks for Earth' (2020-2024) and 'BinaryStars - dyn.Habitability' (2012-2021). Her research integrates computational models like GANBISS for simulating N-body interactions in binary systems.
Key research areas include stellar encounters (e.g., Gliese 710's passage through the Oort cloud), collision outcomes in planetesimal disks, and the evolution of terrestrial planets in habitable zones. Her studies address fundamental questions about planetary formation, orbital stability, and the long-term dynamics of planetary systems under gravitational perturbations.
Publications highlight analyses of trans-Neptunian objects, protoplanetary disk dynamics, and the interplay between binary star configurations and habitability. Her work bridges astrophysics with planetary science, contributing to both theoretical frameworks and observational interpretations of exoplanetary systems.
