}}Himalia is the largest irregular satellite of Jupiter. It is the sixth largest Jovian satellite overall in size, and only the four Galilean moons of Jupiter have greater mass. It was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at the Lick Observatory on 3 December 1904 and is named after the nymph Himalia, who bore three sons of Zeus (the Greek equivalent of Jupiter). It is one of the largest planetary moons in the Solar System not imaged in detail, and the largest not including the moons of Neptune and several trans-Neptunian objects, particularly Dysnomia, the moon of {{dp|Eris}}.[1]

Discovery

Himalia was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at the Lick Observatory on 3 December 1904.[6] Himalia is Jupiter's most easily observed small satellite; though Amalthea is brighter, its proximity to the planet's brilliant disk makes it a far more difficult object to view.[7][8]

Name

Himalia is named after the nymph Himalia, who bore three sons of Zeus (the Greek equivalent of Jupiter). The moon did not receive its present name until 1975;[9] before then, it was simply known as {{nowrap|Jupiter VI}} or Jupiter Satellite VI, although calls for a full name appeared shortly after its and Elara's discovery; A.C.D. Crommelin wrote in 1905:

Unfortunately the numeration of Jupiter's satellites is now in precisely the same confusion as that of Saturn's system was before the numbers were abandoned and names substituted. A similar course would seem to be advisable here; the designation V for the inner satellite [Amalthea] was tolerated for a time, as it was considered to be in a class by itself; but it has now got companions, so that this subterfuge disappears. The substitution of names for numerals is certainly more poetic.[10]

The moon was sometimes called Hestia, after the Greek goddess, from 1955 to 1975.[11]

Orbit

At a distance of about 11.5 million km from Jupiter, Himalia takes about 251 Earth days to complete one orbit.[12] It is the largest member of the group that bears its name, the moons orbiting between 11.4 and 13 million kilometres from Jupiter at an inclination of about 27.5°.[13] The orbital elements are as of January 2000.[1] They are continuously changing due to solar and planetary perturbations.

Physical characteristics

Himalia's rotational period is {{val|7|u=h}} {{val|46|u=m}} {{val|55|2|u=s}}.[4] Himalia appears neutral in color (grey), like the other members of its group, with colour indices B−V=0.62, V−R=0.4, similar to a C-type asteroid. Measurements by Cassini confirm a featureless spectrum, with a slight absorption at {{val|3|u=μm}}, which could indicate the presence of water.[14]

Resolved images by Cassini have led to a size estimate of 150 by 120 km, while ground-based estimates center around 170 km.[5][2] A stellar occultation observed from the US state of Georgia, in May 2018 gave a size of 205.6 by 141.3 km, in agreement with the earlier ground-based estimates.[3]

Mass

In 2005, Emelyanov estimated Himalia to have a mass of {{val|4.2|0.6|e=18|ul=kg}} (GM=0.28±0.04), based on a perturbation of Elara on July 15, 1949.[15] JPL's Solar System dynamics web site assumes that Himalia has a mass of {{val|6.7|e=18|u=kg}} (GM=0.45) with a radius of {{val|85|u=km}}.[2]

Himalia's density will depend on whether it has an average radius of about {{val|67|u=km}} (geometric mean from Cassini)[15] or a radius closer to {{val|85|u=km}}.[2]

Exploration

In November 2000, the Cassini spacecraft, en route to Saturn, made a number of images of Himalia, including photos from a distance of 4.4 million km. Himalia covers only a few pixels, but seems to be an elongated object with axes {{val|150|20}} and {{val|120|20|u=km}}, close to the Earth-based estimations.[5]

In February and March 2007, the New Horizons spacecraft en route to Pluto made a series of images of Himalia, culminating in photos from a distance of 8 million km. Again, Himalia appears only a few pixels across.[39]

Possible relationship with Jupiter's rings

The small moon Dia, 4 kilometres in diameter, had gone missing since its discovery in 2000.[16] One theory was that it had crashed into the much larger moon Himalia, 170 kilometres in diameter, creating a faint ring. This possible ring appears as a faint streak near Himalia in images from NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto. This suggests that Jupiter sometimes gains and loses small moons through collisions.[17] However, the recovery of Dia in 2010 and 2011[18] disproves the link between Dia and the Himalia ring, although it is still possible that a different moon may have been involved.{{cn|date=December 2017}}
