How many terrestrial moons can my planet hold?

+0
−0

I have a Gas Giant with 13x the mass of Jupiter. How many satellites of Earth size and mass can it hold safely in its orbit?

Edit: This gas giant lies smack dab in the middle of its parent star's (Blue Giant) habitable zone.

Edit: I would like to change the star type from Blue Giant to a Yellow Main Sequence Star, due to the issue of the Blue Giant's radiation sanitizing the satellites. The satellites are all intended to be habitable by human standards.
