Orbital evolution of protoplanets embedded in a swarm of planetesimals has been investigated to study the late stage of planetary formation when protoplanets suffer perturbations among themselves and dynamical friction by surrounding planetesimals. We investigated the orbital evolution through direc
We obtain the viscous stirring and dynamical friction rates of planetesimals with a Rayleigh distribution of eccentricities and inclinations, using three-body orbital integration and the procedure described by Ohtsuki (1999, Icarus 137, 152), who evaluated these rates for ring particles. We find tha
