SMaSH+ survey data yields the first observationally grounded distributions of key parameters for 26 hierarchical massive triples, dominated by tight inner binaries and wider tertiaries with no strong mass-separation correlations.

Secular chaos regulated by the inner-to-outer ZLK timescale ratio R enables high-eccentricity tidal migration in 3+1 systems at sub-critical inclinations, producing polar hot Jupiters.
An intermediate-mass companion to Sgr A* plus resonant relaxation in a depleting gas disk can simultaneously produce the observed orbits of S-stars, clockwise disk stars, and off-disk stars within their 6-15 Myr lifetimes.
Photoevaporative and collisional mass losses diversify exoplanet parameter space in ways consistent with standard core accretion, enabling an expanded eight-class classification scheme.

The complex kinematics of the young stars orbiting the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center can be explained by the presence of an intermediate mass companion of Sgr A$^\star$
