Talk:Dia (moon)

Comment
Is there any information as to why this moon has been skipped over repeatedly for naming? Some sources no longer list it as existing. Is there any firm evidence either way, or have they just not looked for it again? --Patteroast 06:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks like it has not been recovered, so its orbit may have been poorly defined or the discovery was spurious.--Jyril 11:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * An MPEC has been issued today giving this object's recovery last year by Sheppard et al. see http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K12/K12R22.html Andrew W 202.7.182.10 (talk) 08:05, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the heads up. -- Kheider (talk) 10:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * According to an article in New Scientist, it seems to have disappeared. See my addition to the main article. I think this is evidence that Jupiter gains and loses small moons regularly.Eric Kvaalen (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Temporary Satellite Capture (TSC) such as with 39P/Oterma and 2006 RH120 are common. -- Kheider (talk) 10:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Orbital elems
I’ve updated the orbital data from the quoted ref. Please feel free to update them but with a ref (a published paper rather than online DB). Eurocommuter 13:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Better source needed?
Given that S/2000 J11 was observed multiple nights over multiple years, sounds like a solid recovery to me. -- Kheider (talk) 19:41, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Orbital Inclination
Is the listed orbital inclination in relation to the ecliptic, Jupiter's equator, the Invariable Plane, or the local Laplace plane? The source material doesn't seem to give a reference, and the difference between other Himalia group members' ecliptical and Jovian equatorial inclinations is so little that 28.2° could easily fit into either category.
