S/2003 J 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia S/2003 J 2 Discovery Discovered by University of Hawai?i team led by Scott S. Sheppard and David Jewitt Discovery date March 4, 2003 Orbital characteristics Eccentricity 0.4074 Orbital period 981.55 d (2.687 Earth years) Inclination 154° (to the ecliptic) 152° (to Jupiter's equator) Satellite of Jupiter
S/2003 J 2 is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. The discovery, by eam of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard and vid C. Jewitt, was announced on March 4, 2003.[1][2] As of 2014, it is Jupite outermost known moon.
S/2003 J 2 is about 2 km (1.2 mi) in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an avera distance of 29.54 gigametres (0.1975 AU) in 981.55 days, at an inclination of 4° to the ecliptic (152° to Jupiter's equator) and with an eccentricity of 0. ][4][5]
It seems to belong to a group all of its own, with semi-major axis ~30 gigame s (0.20 AU) and inclination ~160°.[4]
The limits of Jupiter's gravitational influence are defined by its Hill spher whose radius is 52 gigametres (0.35 AU). Retrograde moons with axes up to 67% Hill radius are believed to be stable. Consequently, it is possible that eve ore distant moons of Jupiter may be discovered.
