Dia ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|d|aɪ|.|ə|}}), also known as Jupiter LIII, is a prograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. Provisionally known as S/2000 J 11, it received its name on March 7, 2015.[1] It is named after Dia, daughter of Deioneus (or Eioneus), wife of Ixion. According to Homer, she was seduced by Zeus in stallion form; Pirithous was the issue.

The satellite is one of the three known small bodies in the Himalia group,[2] the other two being S/2018 J 1 and S/2017 J 4.

Dia is thought to be about 4 kilometres in diameter.[3] It orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 12 million km in 274 days, at an inclination of 28° (to Jupiter's equator), and with an eccentricity of 0.21.[1]

Observational history

Dia was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2000 with an observation arc of 26 days.[4][5]

Initial observations were not followed up, and Dia was not observed for more than a decade after 2000. This apparent disappearance led some astronomers to consider the moon lost.[6] One theory was that it had crashed into Himalia, creating a faint ring around Jupiter.[7] However, it was finally recovered in observations made in 2010 and 2011.[8]
