On the formation of the martian moons from a circum-martian accretion disk

► We reconsider the formation of the martian moons from a circum-Mars accretion disk. ► Accretion close to (strong tide) and farther (weak tide) from Mars are studied. ► In the strong tide regime moonlets form from disk's gravitational instabilities. ► In the weak tide regime moonlets form from runaway growth of smaller debris. ► Current martian system not fully reproduced by these accretion regimes.
