Orbital evolution of individual moons since the disk dissipation started with various initial locations in the case where α = 10−3, α = 10−4 and α = 10−5from top to bottom. The vertical axis is normalized by the planet radius. The shaded areas show when and where β >  0 for Titan mass moons, which correspond to the red regions in Fig. 3. The mutual interactions of satellites are not considered in these plots.
