| Research Abstract |
We have made the hybrid code including both the orbital evolution and impact process of the protoplanets. Such two processes are fundamental to the planet formation. Using this hybrid code for the giant impact stage, we systematically investigate the terrestrial planet formation, and derive the important statics such as the final number of the terrestrial planets, their mass, spin states, and so on. From these outcomes, we discuss the generality and specificity of the terrestrial planets.
