[edit] Summary

Retrograde irregular satellites of Jupiter. The most distant regular satellite Callisto is shown for reference. Plotted by a program written by Eurocommuter.

[edit] Main graph

  • The position of a satellite (in polar co-ordinates) represents
    • its orbit's semi-major axis a (horizontal axis: in Gm and as a fraction of the Hill sphere's radius)
    • orbit’s inclination i in degrees
  • The size of the circle illustrates the satellite's size relative to others:
  • The eccentricity of selected orbits of sateliites is shown indirectly by a segment extending from the left (pericenter) to the apocentre to the right. In other words, the segment illustrates the variations of the object's distance from the planet.

[edit] Data source

  • Mean Orbital Elements JPL (Aug 2006).
  • Size estimations: Sheppard Sheppard pages (Aug 2006)
