Planetary accretion from planetesimals to protoplanets is investigated using three-dimensional N-body simulations. The effect of gas drag due to solar nebula is included and realistic-sized planetesimals with a standard material density are used, with which the growth time scale of planetesimals is
We review the prevailing theories for the formation of the jovian planets and comment that they do not provide a natural explanation for the oft-noted subdivision into two separate classes: the gas-rich giants, Jupiter and Saturn, and the gas-poor giants, Uranus and Neptune. To account for the obser
Current models of the formation of km-sized planetary building blocks, or planetesimals, by collisional accretion require unrealistically low collision velocities or ad hoc assumptions about sticking in order for growth to occur. Collision velocities in the protoplanetary nebula increase with increa
