Understanding better planet- and moon-formation is a key to comprehend how planetary systems – including our own – came to be. To study these processes, we need computer simulations of their birth nests, the disks around the young stars (circumstellar disks) where planets are born; and disks around forming planets (circumplanetary disks) where moons assemble. Circumplanetary disks are located within the circumstellar disks and they were first detected observationally in June 2019, after twenty years of numerical simulations predicting their existence. Therefore, it is very timely to study their characteristics. Circumplanetary disks have three main roles. Firstly, the are channelling…
