S/2000 J 11 is one of the smaller moons of the planet Jupiter.
Discovery
S/2000 J 11 was discovered on December 5, 2000 by the astronomer Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, Yanga R. Fernández and Eugene A. Magnier. However, the object could then be a long time not been found and was therefore lost. Only in September 2012, the re-discovery of S/2000 J 11 was announced.
Path data
S/2000 J 11 orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 12,174,000 km in 274 days and 10 hours. The track has an eccentricity of 0.21 and is 28.3 ° relative to the local Laplace plane which coincides approximately with the plane of the path of Jupiter, inclined.
Because of its web properties is S/2000 J 11 Himalia the group, named after Jupiter's moon Himalia assigned.
Physical data
S/2000 J11 has a diameter of about 4 km. Its density is estimated to be 2.6 g / cm ³. He is probably made up predominantly of silicate rock. It has a very dark surface with an albedo of 0.04, i.e., only 4% of the incident sunlight is reflected. Their apparent brightness is 22.4 m.
