Abstract

In the final phase of terrestrial planet formation, planetary embryos and planetesimals are the building blocks for the growth of rocky planets. In this investigation, we study the dynamical behaviour of a circumstellar disk in an inclined binary star system. The disk consists of 2000 planetesimals and 25 embryos and is distributed between 1 and 4 au around the primary star. To compute the gravitational interaction of the whole system, we use our recently developed GPU N-body code GANBISS. GANBISS treats all collision as perfect merging and delivers the impact parameters that will be used to distinguish between different collision outcomes.
