Surrounded by Giants: Habitable Zone Stability Within the HD 141399 System
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The search for exoplanets has revealed a diversity of planetary system architectures, the vast majority of which diverge significantly from the template of the solar system.

Terrestrial Planet Formation: The Solar System and Other Systems [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 Accretion of terrestrial planets and solid cores of jovian planets is discussed, based on the results of our N-body simulations. Protoplanets accrete from planetesimals through runaway and oligarchic growth until they become isolated. The isolation mass of protoplanets in terrestrial planet region is about 0.2 Earth mass, which suggests that in the ...

Terrestrial planet and asteroid belt formation by Jupiter–Saturn chaotic excitation
Scientific Reports, 2023 The terrestrial planets formed by accretion of asteroid-like objects within the inner solar system’s protoplanetary disk. Previous works have found that forming a small-mass Mars requires the disk to contain little mass beyond ~ 1.5 au (i.e., the disk ...

The Dynamical Consequences of a Super-Earth in the Solar System
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Placing the architecture of the solar system within the broader context of planetary architectures is one of the primary topics of interest within planetary science. Exoplanet discoveries have revealed a large range of system architectures, many of which

Constructing the secular architecture of the solar system II: the terrestrial planets [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 We investigate the dynamical evolution of the terrestrial planets during the planetesimal-driven migration of the giant planets. A basic assumption of this work is that giant planet migration occurred after the completion of terrestrial planet formation, such as in the models that link the former to the origin of the Late Heavy Bombardment.

Terrestrial planet compositions controlled by accretion disk magnetic field
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021 Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are differentiated into three layers: a metallic core, a silicate shell (mantle and crust), and a volatile envelope of gases, ices, and, for the Earth, liquid water.
