The Carme group is made up of moons of Jupiter which share similar orbits. Their semi-major axes range between 22.9 and 24.1 Gm, their inclinations between 164.9° and 165.5°, and their eccentricities between 0.23 and 0.27 (with one exception). Atmospheric characteristics Atmospheric pressure 70 kPa Hydrogen ~86% Helium ~14% Methane 0. ... In physics, an orbit is the path that an object makes, around another object, whilst under the influence of a source of centripetal force, such as gravity. ... In geometry, the term semi-major axis (also semimajor axis) is used to describe the dimensions of ellipses and hyperbolas. ... Inclination is one of the six orbital parameters describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit and is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the reference (usually planets equator or the ecliptic), stated in degrees. ... (This page refers to eccitricity in astrodynamics. ...

The seventeen members of the group are (in order of increasing distance from Jupiter):

• S/2003 J 17
• S/2003 J 10
• Pasithee
• Chaldene
• Arche
• Isonoe
• Erinome
• Kale
• Aitne
• Taygete
• S/2003 J 9
• Carme, the largest, gives its name to the group
• S/2003 J 5
• S/2003 J 19
• Kalyke
• Eukelade
• Kallichore

S/2003 J 10 stands out from the group because of its great eccentricity (0.4295). Otherwise, this group is remarkably homogeneous. S/2003 J 17 is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ...

Erinome (IPA: , air-rin-a-mee, Greek Ερινομη) (Jupiter XXV) is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... Kale (pronounced KAA lay) is one of the smaller moons of Jupiter at about 2 km in diameter, designated as S/2001 J 8. ... Aitne (pronounced ET nee) is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... Taygete (IPA: , tay-ij-i-tee, Greek Ταϋγέτη) (Jupiter XX) is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... S/2003 J 9 is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... Atmospheric pressure 0 kPa Carme (KAR mee) is one of Jupiters moons. ... S/2003 J 5 is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... S/2003 J 19 is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... Kalyke (IPA: , kal-i-kee, Greek Καλύκη) (Jupiter XXIII) is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... Eukelade (ew-kel-a-dee, Greek Ευκελαδη) is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... Kallichore (ka-lik-a-ree, Greek Καλλιχόρη; also Jupiter XLIV) is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ... S/2003 J 10 is a natural satellite of Jupiter. ...
