Irregular satellites-moons that occupy large orbits of significant eccentricity e and/or inclination I-circle each of the giant planets. The irregulars often extend close to the orbital stability limit, about 1/3-1/2 of the way to the edge of their planet's Hill sphere. The distant, elongated, and i
On September 21, 1998, the outer jovian satellites Himalia (J6), Elara (J7), Carme (J11), Pasiphae (J8), and Sinope (J9) were detected in the J, H, and K s bandpasses in the course of the Two-Micron All Sky Survey. Similarities in near-infrared colors are consistent with the hypothesis that the oute
Long-term numerical simulations of the orbits of the Galilean satellites are carried out using a realistic physical model. The free libration of the Laplace angle, which plays a central role in the classical description of the tidal evolution of the Laplace resonance, is isolated from the simulated
