Scientific paper

We perform numerical simulations of Uranus and Neptune migrating in a dense protoplanetary disk, in the presence of a non migrating Saturn. Due to the high density of the gaseous disk, the two 15 Earth mass planets are caught in the same resonance by Saturn. Different kinds of configuration are observed: planets in opposition, at 30 degree from each other, or satellite of each other. This would lead to horseshoe, tadpole, or satellite orbits after dissipation of the gas disk. This appears to be a new way of making double planets or pairs of planets on the same orbit (Crida, 2009).
