Isonoe

University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2000, and given the temporary designation S/2000 J 6.^[5]^[1]

Isonoe is about 4 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 23,833,000 km in 688.61 days, at an

eccentricity

of 0.166.

It was named in October 2002 after Isonoe, one of the Danaïdes in Greek mythology, and a lover of Zeus (Jupiter).^[6]

Isonoe belongs to the Carme group, made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between 23 and 24 Gm and at an inclination of about 165°.
