The initiation of runaway growth of embryos from planetesimals ultimately leads to the growth of large terrestrial planets via large impacts. Defining the role of turbulence in the early nebula is a key to understanding the growth of solids larger than meter size. This information helps to guide numerical models for the three stages of planet formation from dust to planetesimals (~10(6) y), followed by planetesimals to embryos (lunar to Mars-sized objects few 10(6) y), and finally embryos to planets (10(7)-10(8) y). Studies of the ages and compositions of primitive meteorites with compositions similar to the Sun have helped to constrain the nature of the building blocks of planets. Summaries of work to be completed during the first half of 2005 and work planned for the second half of 2005 are included.Īdvances in our understanding of terrestrial planet formation have come from a multidisciplinary approach. During the past year, we made progress on each issue. We planned to construct detailed models to address two fundamental issues: 1) icy planets - models for icy planet formation will demonstrate how the physical properties of debris disks, including the Kuiper Belt in our solar system, depend on initial conditions and input physics and 2) terrestrial planets - calculations following the evolution of 1-10 km planetesimals into Earth-mass planets and rings of dust will provide a better understanding of how terrestrial planets form and interact with their environment.

Our goal was to apply the code to several well-posed, topical problems in planet formation and to derive observational consequences of the models.
We developed this code to follow the evolution of numerous 1 m to 1 km planetesimals as they collide, merge, and grow into full-fledged planets. The goal of our proposal was to use a hybrid multi-annulus planetesimal/ n-body code to examine the planetesimal theory, one of the two main theories of planet formation. Studies of Planet Formation using a Hybrid N-body + Planetesimal Code Its biosphere is significantly developed as well as the other shell components, its hydrosphere and atmosphere, and its crust is considerably differentiated. On the other hand, the Earth is the most metamorphosed terrestrial planet and compared to the other planets appears to be atypical. Therefore, traces of previous catastrophic events were preserved on the surface of the planets. This is what probably happened to the Mercury and the Moon as well as the Mars. In view of the fact that the cores of small terrestrial bodies cooled quicker, their geological development almost stagnated after two or three thousand million years. It is assumed that the initial history of all terrestrial planets was marked with catastrophic events connected with the overall dynamic development of the solar system. A systematic study of extraterrestrial planets showed that the time span of internal activity was not the same for all bodies.
The uneven historical development of terrestrial planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon and Mars - is probably due to the differences in their size, weight and rotational dynamics in association with the internal planet structure, their distance from the Sun, etc. We also discuss angular momentum transfer between the planets and disk. If the HJ opens up a wide gap in the disk (e.g., owing to low disk viscosity), crowding-out becomes less efficient and the HJ remains. In the previous work of this paper, we have found a new physical mechanism of induced migration of the HJ, which is called a crowding-out. The formed planets are not equal mass the largest planet constitutes more than 50% of the total mass in the close-in region, which is also less dependent on parameters. At the end of our simulations, several terrestrial planets remain at around 0.1 AU. The formation of a resonant chain is almost independent of our model parameters, and is thus a robust process. We observe that protoplanets that arise from oligarchic growth and undergo type I migration stop migrating when they join a chain of resonant planets outside the orbit of an HJ. Our primary aims are to describe the planet formation process starting from planetesimals using high-resolution simulations, and to examine the dependences of the architecture of planetary systems on input parameters (e.g., disk mass, disk viscosity). We investigate the formation of multiple- planet systems in the presence of a hot Jupiter (HJ) using extended N-body simulations that are performed simultaneously with semianalytic calculations.
