Context. During the first hundred million years after the formation of our solar system, the four giant planets are believed to have migrated significantly (by up ≈ 20 AU). The current scenario and dynamics of the satellites of these planets must be the result of both the initial conditions of their formation and this early extensive migrational episode.
