Simulations show that von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai migration from inclined companions produces misaligned short-period hot Jupiters while coplanar high-eccentricity migration preserves alignment at longer periods.

abstract
We consider a dynamical shake-up model to explain the low mass of Mars and the lack of planets in the asteroid belt. In our scenario, a secular resonance with Jupiter sweeps through the inner solar system as the solar nebula depletes, pitting resonant excitation against collisional damping in the Sun's protoplanetary disk. We report the outcome of extensive numerical calculations of planet formation from planetesimals in the terrestrial zone, with and without dynamical shake-up. If the Sun's gas disk within the terrestrial zone depletes in roughly a million years, then the sweeping resonance inhibits planet formation in the asteroid belt and substantially limits the size of Mars. This phenomenon likely occurs around other stars with long-period massive planets, suggesting that asteroid belt analogs are common.

Tidal breakup of cohesive rubble piles around white dwarfs imposes a 0.1-1 km maximum fragment size that sets the initial debris distribution and requires collisional grinding before Poynting-Robertson drag acts.
