Study of Migration of Giant Planets and Formation of Populations of Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Nice Model

Abstract

Numerical modeling of the interaction of giant planets and the planetesimal disk was carried out for the Nice model, in which the initial orbits of the planets are in resonant configurations. In addition to the standard Nice model, planetesimals in the planetary region were considered and the self-gravity of the planetesimal disk was taken into account. The dynamical evolution of planetary systems has been studied for time intervals on the order of the lifetime of the Solar System. We have found cases in which the planetary systems survive for billions of years, the final orbits of the planets are close to the present orbits, and distant trans-Neptunian objects exist.
