Scientific paper

A new empirical formula for the law of satellite distances in the Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus systems is obtained. The satellites are considered to be formed in the gas-satellitesimal disk around a planet and by aggregation of satellitesimals. Gas is the major component in the disk and its damping may play an important role on the aggregation process. It is proved that a radical small disturbance in the disk could cause gravitational instability and the formation of a series of gas rings with increasing density where satellitesimals easily aggregate.
