Planet Migration through a Self-Gravitating Planetesimal Disk
We simulate planet migration caused by interactions between planets and a planetesimal disk. We use an N-body integrator optimized for near-Keplerian motion that runs in parallel on a video graphics card, and that computes all pair-wise gravitational interactions. We find that the fraction of planetesimals found in mean motion resonances is reduced and planetary migration rates are on average a...
متن کاملPlanetesimal Disk Evolution Driven by Planetesimal-planetesimal Gravitational Scattering
We investigate the process of an inhomogeneous planetesimal disk evolution caused by the planetesimal-planetesimal gravitational scattering. We develop a rather general approach based on the kinetic theory which self-consistently describes the evolution in time and space of both the disk surface density and its kinematic properties — dispersions of eccentricity and inclination. The gravitationa...
متن کاملPlanetesimal disk evolution driven by embryo-planetesimal gravitational scattering
The process of gravitational scattering of planetesimals by a massive protoplanetary embryo is explored theoretically. We propose a method to describe the evolution of the disk surface density, eccentricity, and inclination caused by the embryoplanetesimal interaction. It relies on the analytical treatment of the scattering in two extreme regimes of the planetesimal epicyclic velocities: shear-...
متن کاملPlanet-planet Scattering in Planetesimal Disks
We study the final architecture of planetary systems that evolve under the combined effects of planet-planet and planetesimal scattering. Using N-body simulations we investigate the dynamics of marginally unstable systems of gas and ice giants both in isolation and when the planets form interior to a planetesimal belt. The unstable isolated systems evolve under planet-planet scattering to yield...
متن کاملOligarchic and giant impact growth of terrestrial planets in the presence of gas giant planet migration
Giant planets found orbiting close to their central stars, the so-called ‘hot Jupiters’, are thought to have originally formed in the cooler outer regions of a protoplanetary disk and then to have migrated inward via tidal interactions with the nebula gas. We present the results of N–body simulations which examine the effect such gas giant planet migration has on the formation of terrestrial pl...
