帕西法厄群

帕西法厄群(英語:Pasiphae group)是木星的一群逆行不规则卫星,它们遵循着与帕西法厄(木卫八)相似的轨道并被认为有着共同的起源。

帕西法厄群卫星的半长轴(到木星的距离)在2280万到2410万公里之间(与加尔尼群相似),它们的倾角在144.5°到158.3°之间,偏心率则在0.25到0.43之间。

这张图展示了木星最大的一些不规则卫星。帕西法厄群中的帕西法厄(木卫八)与西诺珀(木卫九)在图中有标识。一个卫星在横轴上的位置表示它与木星的距离,纵轴则表示其轨道倾角偏心率用黄色条表示,说明卫星与木星的最大和最小距离。圆圈表明一个卫星与其他卫星的相对大小。

帕西法厄群的核心成员包括(负公转周期表示逆行轨道):[1]

名称 直径(公里) 公转周期(天)
帕西法厄(木卫八) 57.8 −722.34
西诺珀(木卫九) 35 −777.29
卡利洛厄(木卫十七) 9.6 −787.43
墨伽克利忒(木卫十九) 5 −747.09
奥托诺厄(木卫二十八) 4 −719.01
欧律诺墨(木卫三十二) 3 −722.59
斯蓬德(木卫三十六) 2 −734.89

国际天文学联合会为包括帕西法厄群在内的所有逆行卫星保留以-e结尾的名称。

起源

[编辑]

帕西法厄群被认为是一颗小行星在被木星捕获后碰撞解体而形成的。原小行星未受到严重破坏:该小行星的直径经计算约为60千米,与木卫八(帕西法厄)大小相近,其保留了原小星体质量的99%。不过这一比例并不包含木卫九(西诺帕)。如果将其包含在内,这个比例将降低至87%。[2]

加尔尼群阿南刻群不同的是,帕西法厄群的单一撞击起源假说并未被所有研究证实。这是因为帕西法厄群的卫星虽然在半长轴上相近,但在轨道倾角上却更分散。有人提出木卫九可能不是同一碰撞的产物,而是被木星独立捕获的。[3]该群天体之间的颜色差异(木卫八为灰色,木卫十七木卫十九为浅红色)也表明该群的起源可能比单一碰撞假说更复杂。 [3]
