1 A few points on the dynamical evolution of the young solar system Renu Malhotra The University of Arizona

2 A few points on the dynamical evolution of the young solar system Renu Malhotra The University of Arizona Late stages of planet formation - planetesimal-driven migration

3 A few points on the dynamical evolution of the young solar system Renu Malhotra The University of Arizona Late stages of planet formation - planetesimal-driven migration Kuiper belt & asteroid belt extent, timescale of Jupiter-Neptune migration

4 A few points on the dynamical evolution of the young solar system Renu Malhotra The University of Arizona Late stages of planet formation - planetesimal-driven migration Kuiper belt & asteroid belt extent, timescale of Jupiter-Neptune migration - appears to be nearly incompatible with stability of terrestrial planets

5 A few points on the dynamical evolution of the young solar system Renu Malhotra The University of Arizona Late stages of planet formation - planetesimal-driven migration Kuiper belt & asteroid belt extent, timescale of Jupiter-Neptune migration - appears to be nearly incompatible with stability of terrestrial planets - how to save Earth?

Does that mean we have NO constraints on Neptune/Jupiter migration?

26 Effects of Jupiter-Saturn migration on terrestrial planets Agnor & Lin, 2012 Brasser et al., 2012 Brasser et al., 2013 Mars Earth Venus Mercury ν5 secular resonance - excite eccentricities - multiple crossings - low probability of cancellation - low probability of successful outcomes in numerical sims, even with very fast migration, jumping Jupiter style This is disturbing!

27 How to save the terrestrial planets? Options? Agnor & Lin suggest that the terrestrial planets formed after giant planet migration was completed Strom et al., But missing asteroids left their imprint in the crater record - ~3.9 Ga

28 How to save the terrestrial planets? Options? Agnor & Lin suggest that the terrestrial planets formed after giant planet migration was completed Strom et al., But missing asteroids left their imprint in the crater record - ~3.9 Ga - Size distribution of impactors - same as Main belt asteroids but different than younger impactors

29 How to save the terrestrial planets? Options? - other missing mass to kill ν5? - different arrangement of terrestrial planets? - 5th terrestrial planet? - massive leftover planetesimal population in the inner solar system?
