Most stars form not in isolation but as part of a stellar group. Many of them are initially surrounded by disks, which can eventually harbor planet(s). Both the disk as well as planetary systems may be affected by the cluster environment due to close fly-bys. The here presented database can be used to determine the effect of such fly-bys on non-viscous disks and planetary systems.
