S / 2017 J 1 (also Jupiter LIX ) is one of the smaller moons of the planet Jupiter .
discovery
S / 2017 J 1 was discovered in 2017 by astronomers Scott S. Sheppard , David J. Tholen, and Chad Trujillo . The moon has not yet been given an official name - the moons of Jupiter are usually female figures from Greek mythology - but is provisionally designated as S / 2017 J 1 in accordance with the system of the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Orbit data
S / 2017 J 1 orbits Jupiter with a major semi-axis of approx. 23.5 million kilometers in approx. 735 days. The track has an eccentricity of 0.397. The orbit is retrograde with an orbit inclination of 149.2 °; that is, the moon moves around the planet against the direction of rotation of Jupiter.
Physical data
Based on the brightness of the object, the diameter can be estimated to be about 1 km.
