Title: Planet Formation Study
Post by: atomic7732 on March 21, 2011, 06:32:41 PM

Frankuitaalst from the Gravity Simulator Forums ran 37+ simulations with 100 .5 earth mass 10,000 km objects at 1 AU. They resulted in lots of 2 and 3 planet systems. He also got 1 4 planet system. I decided to modify this a bit, and try it with 75. Currently I'm running 4 and 5... You can check the forum there (http://www.orbitsimulator.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1273515373/0#8) and here (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AgTvxKfJlBKWdEdadlFjQXNEenBmN2g5NXhkZzhfZGc&hl=en&authkey=CJiMu5cC)

For some reason GravSim forums give me a 403 Forbidden error.

8 systems published.

System 8 is on Late Planetary Formation Stage.

System 10 glitched... every object threw itself off for some unknown reason.

9 systems published.

11, 12, and 13 are running extremely slow for an unknown reason, at just over 1000 years (in comparison 1 simulation takes about 3000 - 5000 years)
