Ymir /ˈiːmɪər/, or Saturn XIX, is the second-largest retrograde irregular moon of Saturn. It was discovered by Brett J. Gladman, et al. in 2000, and given the temporary designation S/2000 S 1. It was named in August 2003 after Ymir, who in Norse mythology is the ancestor of all the Jotuns or frost giants.[12]
It takes 3.6 Earth years to complete an orbit around Saturn. Of the moons that take more than 3 Earth years to orbit Saturn, Ymir is the largest, at about 19 kilometres (12 miles) in diameter;[11] Ymir is also the second largest member of the Norse group, after Phoebe.[9]
Spectral measurements from Cassini–Huygens show that Ymir is reddish in color, unlike Phoebe's gray color, suggesting a separate origin for this moon. It shows a similar light curve as Siarnaq and has a triangular shape, rotating in a retrograde direction about once every 11.9 hours.[9]
Notes
- ^ Because the -r is an inflectional ending, and the oblique stem is Ymi (as in Modern Norse Yme), one might expect the English adjective to be ?Ymian, but that is perhaps too short a word to be easily intelligible.[4]
- ^ a b Assuming the north pole is the one pointing north of the invariable plane, in accordance with IAU standards.
