Scientific paper

This paper reports on the first step of an effort to produce a planetary formation model, using the multizone planetary accretion code of Weidenschilling et al. (1996) to model the growth process numerically. Consideration is given to the issues of what the timescale of runaway growth is and how large a core is produced. Possible solutions to the formation problem include: a higher nubular surface density to allow more extensive runaway; competition of multiple embryos to reduce isolationist tendencies; or migration of planetesimals by drag of the embryo(s) by nebular gravitational torques.
