Comment[edit]

Is there any information as to why this moon has been skipped over repeatedly for naming? Some sources [1] no longer list it as existing. Is there any firm evidence either way, or have they just not looked for it again? --Patteroast 06:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it has not been recovered, so its orbit may have been poorly defined or the discovery was spurious.--Jyril 11:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

An MPEC has been issued today giving this object's recovery last year by Sheppard et al. see http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K12/K12R22.html Andrew W 202.7.182.10 (talk) 08:05, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the heads up. -- Kheider (talk) 10:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to an article in New Scientist, it seems to have disappeared. See my addition to the main article. I think this is evidence that Jupiter gains and loses small moons regularly.Eric Kvaalen (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary Satellite Capture (TSC) such as with 39P/Oterma and 2006 RH120 are common. -- Kheider (talk) 10:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orbital elems[edit]

I’ve updated the orbital data from the quoted ref. Please feel free to update them but with a ref (a published paper rather than online DB). Eurocommuter 13:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Better source needed?[edit]

Given that S/2000 J11 was observed multiple nights over multiple years, sounds like a solid recovery to me. -- Kheider (talk) 19:41, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orbital Inclination[edit]

Is the listed orbital inclination in relation to the ecliptic, Jupiter's equator, the Invariable Plane, or the local Laplace plane? The source material doesn't seem to give a reference, and the difference between other Himalia group members' ecliptical and Jovian equatorial inclinations is so little that 28.2° could easily fit into either category.
