摘要: The final "giant-impact" phase of terrestrial planet formation is believed to begin with a large number planetary "embryos" on nearly circular, coplanar orbits. Mutual gravitational interactions gradually excite their eccentricities until orbits cross and they collide merge; through this process the surviving bodies declines system contains small planets well-separated, stable In paper we explore simple statistical model for orbit distribution formed by process, based sheared-sheet approximation ansatz that uniformly all region space. provides analytic predictions semimajor axis differences, correlations between orbital elements nearby planets, complete N-planet function, in terms single parameter, "dynamical temperature", determined masses. predicted properties are generally consistent N-body simulations giant-impact differences Kepler catalog extrasolar planets. A similar may apply giant if these mainly dynamical evolution after have gas disk has disappeared.
