This study analyzes the differences between the Jovian and Saturnian satellite systems. It suggests that Jupiter opened a gap in its circumstellar disk, abruptly stopping gas infall to its circumplanetary disk. This led to a frozen Jovian system with 4 large moons trapped in orbital resonances. Saturn did not open a gap, so its circumplanetary disk decayed gradually with its circumstellar disk. This produced a Saturnian system dominated by a single large moon, Titan, without resonances. Computational modeling supports this theory, reproducing the key properties of the Jovian and Saturnian satellite architectures.
