Kari (also Saturn XLV) is one of the smaller outer moons of the planet Saturn .

discovery

The discovery of S / 2006 S 2 by Scott S. Sheppard , David C. Jewitt , Jan Kleyna and Brian G. Marsden on recordings from January 4 to April 30, 2006 was announced on June 26, 2006. Kari was initially given the provisional designation S / 2006 S 2. In April 2007 the moon was named after Kari , the ruler of the winds, a son of the frost giant Fornjótr (also Fornjot) and brother of Aegir (also Ægir or Hlér) and Logi (also Lodge), named from Norse mythology .

Orbit data

Kari orbits Saturn on a retrograde eccentric orbit in around 1234 days. The orbital eccentricity is 0.48, the orbit is inclined by 156 ° to the ecliptic , which represents the Laplace plane at this distance from Saturn .

Structure and physical data

Kari has a diameter of about 7 km and rotates once around its own axis every 7¾ hours.
