Comparison of N-body simulations of Earth-like planets with observations
speaker: Hoshino Haruka
Abstract:
Many exoplanets have been discovered so far. Among them, Earth-like planets are the majority of the population. It is also known that short-period Earth-like planets around low-mass stars are the main targets of the study to understand planet formation. We investigated the effect of stellar mass on the structure of planetary systems. We explored whether the observed results can be reproduced by N-body simulations using the MMEN model, which is a disk model based on observations. Although the number of observed planets around low-mass stars is still small, we discuss whether it can be used as a prediction for future observations.
