We have performed N-body simulation on final accretion stage of terrestrial planets, including the effect of damping of eccentricity and inclination caused by tidal interaction with a remnant gas disk. As a result of runway and oligarchic accretion, about 20 Marssized protoplanets would be formed in
We perform three-dimensional N-body integrations of the final stages of terrestrial planet formation. We report the results of 10 simulations beginning with 22-50 initial planetary embryos spanning the range 0.5-1.5 AU, each with an initial mass of 0.04-0.13M β . Collisions are treated as inelastic
We investigate the orbital evolution of 10 13 -to 10 25 -g planetesimals near 1 AU and in the asteroid belt (near 2.6 AU) prior to the stage of evolution when the mutual perturbations between the planetesimals become important. We include nebular gas drag and the effects of Jupiter and Saturn at the
