Planetary Migration

Planetary Migration is a dynamical process in planetary systems whereby a planet’s orbit—especially its semi-major axis—undergoes systematic change over time due to gravitational and tidal interactions with a protoplanetary disk, planetesimals, other planets, or the central star.
