Stellar flyby refers to the close passage of two or more stars. Close flybys are usually relatively rare, but are more common in star clusters[1]. In these groups of stars the stellar density is much higher, so that close passages of between stars are more common. In particular in young star clusters, open clusters and globular clusters[2] stellar flybys are thought to be common. In young clusters, such close stellar flybys might influence the frequency and size of protoplanetary discs[3], and influence the planet formation process in these environments.
