Fossilized condensation lines in the Solar System protoplanetary disk (2015, background): “We expect that the debris generated in the first erosive collisions would exert dynamical friction on the planets and help them achive a new, stable configuration (see for instance Chambers, 2013).”
Accretion and differentiation of the terrestrial planets with implications for the compositions of early-formed Solar System bodies and accretion of water (2014, background): “impact phase of planet formation and planets on more circular orbits, but the final planets appear to be drawn from the same distribution in terms of mass and semi-major axis (Kokubo and Genda, 2010, Chambers, 2013). Debris generated from imperfect accretion tends to be re-accreted by the target bod”
