[edit] Summary

Groups of irregular satellites of Jupiter.

The most distant regular satellite Callisto is shown for reference. Plotted by a program written by Eurocommuter.

[edit] Main graph

The position of a satellite (in polar co-ordinates) represents
- its orbit's semi-major axis a (horizontal axis: in Gm and as a fraction of the Hill sphere's radius)
- orbit’s inclination i in degrees
The size of the circle illustrates the satellite's size relative to others:
The eccentricity of selected orbits is shown indirectly by a segment extending from the left (pericenter) to the apocentre to the right. In other words, the segment illustrates the variations of the object's distance from the planet.
