A stochastic model for the orbits of planets and satellites: An interpretation of Titius-Bode law (Q789907)

The author proposes a stochastic model to explain the Titius-Bode law for the distributions of planets and satellites around Jupiter by studying a stochastic differential equation of a test paritcle moving along a trajectory of a diffusion process of the proto-nebula of the solar system. This model gives a mechanism for the original confinement of matter of the proto-nebula into concentric jet-streams at specific distances which are given by eigenfunctions of a Schrödinger Hamiltonian for the celestial system.
