Description
Recent detections of free-floating planets have provided insights into planetary formation and dynamics. These rogue planets, which do not orbit a host star, are thought to form primarily from dynamical ejections during close stellar encounters. The giant planets in the Solar System have moons, raising the question: what happens to the moons of these ejected planets? In this study, we perform numerical experiments to determine the cross sections for the ejection of planet-moon pairs from the host star.
