Dates, Relevance & Validity
[edit]- When was the NICE 2 model proposed ?
- Is it still relevant ?
- How valid is the NICE 2 model compared to other recent models ? J mareeswaran (talk) 13:26, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- 2011
- The resonant configuration is where the Grand Tack model ends, and where the Nice model begins.
- In simulations the instability trigger has been approximated (to bypass a few hundred million years of simulation, saving computer time) by changing the location of one planet by 180 degrees to destabilize a resonant configuration, so they have been using it as a stating point.
- I'm not really qualified to determine how valid it is compared to other models, but I haven't seen an alternative model that offers explanation for as much of the solar system as the Nice model, and it is what I see in review articles, for example page 11 of this arxiv.org/abs/1501.06204 Agmartin (talk) 17:43, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- An update on this discussion. arxiv.org/abs/1501.06204 resolves to 2015aste.book..493M on the NASA ADS, which includes bibliometrics on the article. The most highly cited paper which references it is an AnnRev article, 2017AREPS..45..619B. Models similar to the Nice model are still alive but the details remain to be worked out.

[edit]- One example among several potential stable quadruple resonance configurations is Jupiter and Saturn in a 3:2 resonance, Saturn and Uranus in a 3:2 resonance, and Uranus and Neptune in a 4:3 resonance.
Would it be misleading to say all four were in 9:6:4:3 resonance? —Antonissimo (talk) 06:38, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
