This chapter concerns the long-term dynamical evolution of planetary systems from both theoretical and observational perspectives. We begin by discussing the planet-planet interactions that take place within our own Solar System. We then describe such interactions in more tightly-packed planetary systems. As planet-planet interactions build up, some systems become dynamically unstable, leading to strong encounters and ultimately either ejections or collisions of planets. After discussing the basic physical processes involved, we consider how these interactions apply to extrasolar planetary systems and explore the constraints provided by observed systems. The presence of a residual planetesimal disc can lead to planetary migration and hence cause instabilities induced by resonance crossing; however, such discs can also stabilise planetary systems. The crowded birth environment of a planetary system can have a significant impact: close encounters and binary companions can act to destabilise systems, or sculpt their properties. In the case of binaries, the Kozai mechanism can place planets on extremely eccentric orbits which may later circularise to produce hot Jupiters.

  1. The 35-Myr old infant planet TOI-837 b has a mildly misaligned orbit

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    TOI-837 b has a true obliquity of 25.9+7.5-6.3 deg, the first planet younger than 100 Myr with accessible ψ incompatible with an aligned orbit, favoring primordial disc torque followed by disc-driven migration.

  2. The GAPS programme at TNG: LXXVI. TOI-1533: a compact system hosting a super-Neptune-mass pair with disparate radii

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    TOI-1533 is confirmed as a rare compact system hosting an inner sub-Neptune and an outer hot super-Neptune-mass giant with nearly equal masses and very different radii.

  3. A possible misaligned orbit for the young planet AU Mic c

    astro-ph.EP 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first Rossiter-McLaughlin measurement for AU Mic c gives a projected spin-orbit angle of 67.8 (+31.7/-49.0) degrees, tentatively suggesting a misaligned orbit.

  4. White dwarf planets in star clusters: gravitational scattering versus mass-loss effects

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    N-body simulations find stellar mass-loss effects dominate gravitational scattering in altering giant planet orbits around white dwarfs formed in star clusters, independent of density and initial conditions.

  5. Lithium-rich M-dwarfs at the ZAMS: Evidence for planetary engulfment?

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Six lithium-rich early M-dwarfs at 50-200 Myr are reported as consistent with engulfment of 3-10 Earth masses of planetary material after radiative core formation.

  6. Planet or brown dwarf? Constraints on the formation of H-type objects in IC348

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    H-type objects in IC348 show spatial distributions matching stars and brown dwarfs, unlike the more dispersed distribution of simulated ejected planets, indicating a star-like formation origin.
