Scientific paper

We present a new formation mechanism to produce short-period Earth-like planets in the late stage of planet formation, through a collision-merger scenario. In this scenario, a planetary embryo is directly thrown into a close-in orbit after a collision with another embryo, and then the larger merged body is seized by the central star as a hot Earth-like planet.
