Jovian moons

Thank you so much for your efforts here – I greatly appreciate them, and am grateful for your eagle-eyed spotting of all the errors that undoubtedly have accumulated here.

Incidentally, I do have Euanthe listed as an Ananke group member, and checking the articles shows it correctly; can you point me to somewhere where it's labelled under the (admittedly widely dispersed) Pasiphae group? Double sharp (talk) 23:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, it's more of a method where I enter the orbital elements into a program I wrote and it outputs the likely group that it falls into. It did to be honest, returned some errors (like suggesting Euporie did not belong to a group or S/2011 J 2 was in the Ananke group because for some reason it ignored the distance), but generally, it listed things correctly. I compared eccentricity and inclination to make a match.

Let me double-check.

Euanthe is 20464854 km away, inclination 143.409 degrees, eccentricity 0.2000. Right, my program says Ananke.

Sorry, I must have read the column for Helike right under it, which is Pasiphae.

It was like this:

23 XXXIII Euanthe /juːˈænθiː/ 3 0.0045 20464854 −598.09 143.409 0.2000 2002 Sheppard et al. Ananke

24 XLV Helike /ˈhɛlᵻkiː/ 4 0.0090 20540266 −601.40 154.586 0.1374 2003 Sheppard et al. Pasiphae

Read the wrong row.

Terribly sorry. 8.40.151.110 (talk) 00:43, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I checked Euporie again, most likely Pasiphae based on its low eccentricity. A bit close to Jupiter, but hey, it's what we have. 8.40.151.110 (talk) 00:51, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
