Constraints from Comets on the Formation and Volatile Acquisition of the Planets and Satellites [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2015 Comets play a dual role in understanding the formation and evolution of the solar system. First, the composition of comets provides information about the origin of the giant planets and their moons because comets formed early and their composition is not expected to have evolved significantly since formation.

Formation of the regular satellites of giant planets in an extended gaseous nebula I: subnebula model and accretion of satellites [PDF]
Icarus, 2003 We model the subnebulae of Jupiter and Saturn wherein satellite accretion took place. We expect a giant planet subnebula to be composed of an optically thick (given gaseous opacity) inner region inside of the planet's centrifugal radius (located at r(sub c, sup J) = l5R(sub J) for Jupiter and r(sub c, sup S) = 22R(sub S) for Saturn), and an optically ...

Origin and Formation of the Regular Satellites around Planets
, 2018 The presence of regular satellites around planets, thought to have formed in situ, is the rule rather than the exception in our Solar System. These objects presumably formed in the last stages of accretion of their parent planets and our understanding of their origin is therefore tied to that of the formation of planets. In spite of the recent progress
