Suppose a star passed by our solar system. How close would it have to come before the orbits of planets was significantly and permanently perturbed? How close to cast a planet out of orbit? Let's say that that star is a cold neutron star, so we know its mass (1.5 solar masses) and don't have to worry about heat or gasses coming from it.
