Notes. This table shows the cases presented in Sects. 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, and all cases that did not manage to form a stable resonant chain, to emphasize the difficulty of forming long resonant chains in low-viscosity discs. Column 1 – disc aspect ratio h. Column 2 – simulation name if it resulted in a stable configuration. Column 3 – radial order of the planets in the disc. Column 4 – final resonant chain at the end of the simulation, if stable. (†) Different introduction time with respect to the above line. (*)Stable after having ejected an ice giant.
