Scientific paper

We present results of numerical simulations on the effects of close stellar encounters on planetesimal disks. A disk composed of 100,000 particles is perturbed by a passing star, with the encounter being typical of those occurring in an open stellar cluster. These simulations will examine the importance of the disk's self--gravity (namely, the propagation of spiral bending and density waves) during and after the encounter, and will also explore how stellar encounters can affect planet formation.
