Orbital Circularization of a Planet Accreting Disk Gas: Formation of Distant Jupiters in Circular Orbits based on Core Accretion Model

A. Kikuchi, A. Higuchi, S. Ida

Recently, gas giant planets in nearly circular orbits with large semimajor axes ( 30--1000AU) have been detected by direct imaging. We have investigated orbital evolution i…
