Terrestrial planet formation from a ring: long-term simulations accounting for the giant planet instability
J. M. Y. Woo, D. Nesvorny, J. Scora +1
The process leading to the formation of the terrestrial planet remains elusive. In a previous publication, we have shown that, if the first generation of planetesimals forms in a r…
