Not a physicist, but I thought this didn't really happen in orbital mechanics, instead they'll just orbit said star.
- wkat4242 2y agoDepends on their relative speed and angle.
- ars 2y agoIf they are far enough away from the star that's correct. i.e. if the star was a point source. But if they get close they'll slow down by interaction with the atmosphere of the star. Which is more likely than random chance because the star is attracting them.
