We investigate planetary accretion that starts from equal-mass planetesimals using an analytic theory and numerical simulations. We particularly focus on how the planetary mass M oli at the onset of oligarchic growth depends on the initial mass m 0 of a planetesimal. Oligarchic growth commences when the velocity dispersion relative to the Hill velocity of the protoplanet takes its minimum. We find that if m 0 is small enough, this normalized velocity dispersion becomes as low as unity during the intermediate stage between the runaway and oligarchic growth stages. In this case, M oli is independent of m 0. If m 0 is large, on the other hand, oligarchic growth commences directly after runaway growth, and M oli∝ m 0 3/7. The planetary mass M oli for the solid surface density of the Minimum Mass Solar Nebula is close to the masses of the dwarf planets in a reasonable range of m 0. This indicates that they are likely to be the largest remnant planetesimals that failed to become planets. The power-law exponent q of the differential mass distribution of remnant planetesimals is typically− 2.0 and− 2.7 to− 2.5 for small and large m 0. The slope, q≃− 2.7, and the bump at 10 21 g (or 50 km in radius) for the mass distribution of hot Kuiper belt objects are reproduced if m 0 is the bump mass. On the other hand, small initial planetesimals with m 0∼ 10 13 g or less are favored to explain the slope of large asteroids, q≃− 2.0, while the bump at 10 21 g can be reproduced by introducing a small number of asteroid seeds each with mass of 10 19 g.
