Photoevaporation driven by the ultraviolet radiation from massive stars severely limits the lifetime of protoplanetary discs around stars formed within stellar clusters. I investigate the resulting influence of clustered environments on the probability of giant planet formation, and show that for clusters as rich, or richer than, Orion, the time available for planet formation is likely to be limited to the length of any delay between low mass and high mass star formation. Under popular models for the formation of massive planets, the fraction of stars with giant planets in rich clusters is expected to be substantially suppressed as compared to less clustered star formation environments.

  1. JWST's first view of the most vigorously star-forming cloud in the Galactic center -- Sagittarius B2

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    New JWST multi-filter imaging of Sgr B2 detects previously hidden massive stars and ionized structures while finding no extended young stellar objects, implying star formation there has only recently begun.

  2. The Dynamics of Planetary Ejection

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A review of planetary ejection mechanisms and their predicted free-floating planet demographics, concluding that planet-planet scattering, cluster encounters, and binary instabilities likely dominate FFP production.
