Abstract

We present the latest results of large scale (N = 10000, 0.5AU < a < 1.5AU) N-body simulations of planetary accretion. We confirm the oligarchic growth of protoplanets in the minimum-mass disk and a more massive disk models. Protoplanets with the predicted isolation mass are formed with orbital separation of about 10-15 Hill radius.
