Abstract
The formation of Uranus' regular moons has been suggested to be linked to the origin of its enormous spin axial tilt (~98o). A giant impact between proto-Uranus and a 2–3 MEarth impactor could lead to a large tilt and to the formation of an impact generated disc, where prograde and circular satellites are accreted. The most intriguing features of the current regular Uranian satellite system is that it possesses a positive trend in the mass-distance distribution and likely also in the bulk density, implying that viscous spreading of th
