Abstract:Recent work has shown that aside from the classical view of collisions by increasingly massive planetesimals, the accretion of mm-to m-sized 'pebbles' can also reproduce the mass-orbit distribution of the terrestrial planets. Here, we perform N-body simulations to study the effects of pebble accretion onto growing planetesimals of different diameters located in the inner Solar System. The simulations are run to occur during the lifetime of the gas disc while also simultaneously taking Jupiter's growth into acc… Show more
