Evolution of the eccentricity and inclination of Ariel during the capture into the 2:1 mean motion resonance with Umbriel, considering different values of the parameter Q2 (k2,2 = 0.15). The dotted line represents the eccentricity threshold (see text) above which the inclination resonance is triggered. These simulations were obtained setting tα,2 = 2.3 Gyr and initial semimajor axes a2 = 6.150 RU and a3 = 9.841 RU.
