# Talk:Kerberos (moon)

I am trying to edit to add details about this new moon but it seems the name is getting switch around as everytime I try to add information it is redirected to S/2011 P 1 then P4. I have 3 sorurses for this so far 1 refers to it as S/2011 and 3 as P4. If we are going to be changing it back and forth I say we go with P4 as it is the name used in the images and its the one used on more articles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MathewDill (talk • contribs) 16:22, 20 July 2011 (UTC) 

I agree, it should be moved back to P4 (moon) (since there is a disambiguation page at P4.  I just to move it but it didn't work.  P4 is the name used in all the sources I have seen, including the ones in the article.  And by the way, this is just a temporary name, as stated in almost all the sources; once the moon has a real name the article will undoubtedly be there and P4 and S/2011 P1 will be redirects.  Neutron (talk) 18:33, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

I've just re-snipped some details given about the orbit of the moon.  An observed distance of 39,000 miles does not necessarily translate into a mean orbital radius of that amount.  Similarly comments that this was a circular, equatorial orbit had a source attached to them - a source that used neither term.  If a new source can be found that actually does make that assertion then fine.  Otherwise, this is a newly discovered body and as such details are limited.  The article needs to reflect that, rather than making up details that can't be cited. Crispmuncher (talk) 23:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC).

Apparently, Cerberus (after the mythological three-headed dog) is being considered as a name for the new moon--L1A1 FAL (talk) 17:06, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

But isn't Cerberus already an asteroid? How about Orthrus? Lanthanum-138 (talk) 03:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
See Name conflicts with minor planets. Such intersections of minor planet and satellite names are not at all unusual; in fact, relatively recently (2001) an asteroid satellite was named "Romulus", a name which was already in use for another asteroid.
Funny, I had suggested 2-headed Orthrus for P2 and 3-headed Cerberus for P3. — kwami (talk) 21:00, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
See Hades for a list of possible names, although I imagine that some are probably going to be used to designate Plutonian topography when New Horizons arrives there in 2015.

Apparently no publication besides Wikipedia calls this Moon "S/2011 P 1 ". Can anyone please provide any proof, that it is called "S/2011 P 1". 217.7.212.94 (talk) 08:15, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

See [2] - Astronomers are still trying to better peg orbital details on the object, designated “S/2011 P1” or “P4” until it receives a permanent name. Tompw (talk) (review) 18:58, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
It is the standard formulaic designation as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) as defined for moons of planets, with "P" reserved for Pluto, so it is not a fake designation. However, since Pluto has been demoted to a dwarf planet, "P" may no longer be appropriate. This designation is anachronistic. 76.65.131.160 (talk) 05:16, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

This article's title is nonsense. It is like having an article about a person on their social security number. Georgia guy (talk) 18:08, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Sigh.  I have very mixed feelings about this; I actually agree that it's most consistent with Wikipedia policy to use the title S/2011 (134340) 1; however, I don't agree with the presuppositions that generate that title (which is, however, really irrelevant), and I don't like these unilateral back-and-forth moves no matter who does them.  Can't we get an administrator to weigh in?
The case for S/2011 (134340) 1 is simple: it's the IAU's nomenclature.  In all other cases of which I'm aware, Wikipedia follows IAU nomenclature.  You could make a case for the IAU not being as important as it makes itself out to be, but that decision, if accepted, might have far-reaching effects on a number of Wikipedia articles.
New Horizons uses the nomenclature S/2011 P 1 for a very clear reason: the team leader disputes the IAU's reclassification of Pluto out of planet status.  I believe that is a respectable position to hold; in fact, I think it is the right position, although the New Horizons team may hold it for reasons as much professional as scientific (it is certainly much more impressive to be investigating Planet Pluto than Asteroid #134340).
However, it is not Wikipedia's position.  I objected when Wikipedia's Pluto article was moved to Pluto (dwarf planet); but I was overruled. Although it has since become just Pluto again, the rationale by which I was overruled has not changed; the majority of Wikipedians agreed to follow the IAU decision and terminology in this matter. And since a "dwarf planet" is not a small kind of planet, but rather a large kind of 'minor planet' (i.e., asteroid) as long as Wikipedia maintains that the IAU was correct in classifying Pluto as a dwarf planet, it cannot without inconsistency use the "P 1" designation -- which would imply that Wikipedia considers Pluto a planet, not a minor planet.
By calling Pluto a 'dwarf planet', or "(134340) Pluto", Wikipedia is taking one side in the Pluto wars.  But by calling its latest moon S/2011 P 1, it is taking the opposite side.  Like the bat in the fable of the Battle of the Birds and Beasts, Wikipedia apparently wants to be on both sides at the same time.  Now, maybe it's okay to be on two sides of an issue at the same time; I can't really argue against it; but given that some Wikipedians purport to be sticklers for consistency, I thought it was worth pointing out.RandomCritic (talk) 00:56, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
We need to let the move request close. Whatever is decided will be temporary anyway.
I'm one of the 'bats'. I support demoting Pluto from 'planet' (and did long before the IAU decision), but I see nothing wrong with calling the moon S/2011 P 1, which is consistent with the temporary names of the other moons and frankly just a lot easier to remember. Sure, it's exceptional, but Pluto is an exceptional case: We have an established precedent and there aren't any other ex-planets out there with moons. Either way, let's see how the discussion goes.
As for planets being sexier, yeah, it sounds better, but Mercury is a planet and is pretty boring. I'm more interested in Ceres, which hasn't been considered a planet for over a century. [But no magnetometer on Dawn :s( !] — kwami (talk) 03:07, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
BTW, is there actually an official guideline that the notation "S/year (first letter of parent body) number" is used only for (some) planets? It seems to be a case-by-case decision to me which objects get this "honour", since it wouldn't even work with all 8 planets (Mercury and Mars both start with an "M")... --Roentgenium111 (talk) 17:07, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Yes there is, at least according to Wikipedia's own article on the subject.  It explains the provisional designations for newly discovered natural satellites of planets.  It states (although with a little bit of hedging) that if Mercury were ever discovered to have a satellite (which is unlikely), the letter "H" would be used to distinguish it from "M" for Mars.  (I didn't know this before today, thanks for prompting me to look it up.)  Neutron (talk) 18:39, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
And thanks to you for linking to that article! I had already searched for (and expected to find) this info in "Naming of moons", but the provisional notation is not described at all in there...--Roentgenium111 (talk) 16:37, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Can anyone please move the article to the correct lemma "S/2011 (134340) 1". The Wikipedia Article Astronomical naming conventions#Natural satellites of planets explains, why it is the correct designation. Thanks, --Spiritus Rector (talk) 08:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

No. I locked it at its current name. We have an open discussion on the move. It will be moved if that is the decision. — kwami (talk) 10:56, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Excuse me, but this goes completely beyond my understanding. Several people have proven, that there is only one correct official designation. Why are so many people sticking with an obviously incorrect designation? The IAU issues the ONLY interim designations - everything else is fantasy. The "S/2011 P 1" designation is probably supported by the Pluto-is-a-planet-faction, but the IAU as the authority for astronomical designations is clear on this issue: Pluto is a dwarf planet, therfore the designation has to be "S/2011 (134340) 1". Thanks, --Spiritus Rector (talk) 11:12, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
You're welcome to that opinion, and if you convince enough people to form a consensus on it, then the page will be moved there. — kwami (talk) 14:29, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
As has been pointed out above, the question of what the correct name is (personally I agree with you that it should be S/2011 (134340) 1) is completely irrelevant in Wikipedia's decision-making process. Whether this is a reasonable stance for an encyclopaedia to take is a good question, but not one that should be decided on the talk page of an obscure satellite of a dwarf planet. Icalanise (talk) 17:35, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
I move-protected the article while the discussion was open because of repeated undiscussed moves. Now that it is closed, do we think there is reason to keep it protected? — kwami (talk) 23:40, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
I'd advocate unprotecting for now, obviously if we start seeing repeated back-and-forth moving then protection can be reconsidered. Icalanise (talk) 19:59, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Done. — kwami (talk) 05:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
[3] It's not S/2011 P 1--ArgGeo (talk) 12:47, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I know.  But this is Wikipedia, where something being a fact is neither necessary nor sufficient for inclusion, and people argue not over whether a statement is true but over the number of Google hits a phrase gets. Don't expect things to make sense in Topsy-Turvy-Land! RandomCritic (talk) 04:34, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
This article should be moved to the proper name at S/2011 (134340) 1 per http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/cbet/cbet002769.txt -- Kheider (talk) 10:09, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Isn't it time for them to have given this moon a name already?  Neutron (talk) 18:35, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Pluton is not planet - his moon is not S/2011 P1 like moon planet. the official name of the Moon is S/2011 (134340) 1. S/2011 P 1 is the name of its own work, no vote will not change - John Belushi (talk) 05:10, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Can any of our astronomer-types around here explain why this moon has remained without an official name for almost a year now?  I thought the word at the time was that it would take a few months.  A Google search indicates there was a lot of speculation right after it was discovered, but apparently no official answer, yet.  Neutron (talk) 19:51, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

The situation's not unusual at all. For example, there are moons of Jupiter discovered in 2003 that still don't have names. --Patteroast (talk) 20:55, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
When P4 was found, it was strongly suspected that there was a P5 in the data.  The names that would be given to a pair of moons would be different than the name given to a single moon. JavautilRandom (talk) 15:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

There is a move discussion in progress which affects this page. Please participate at Talk:S/2012 P 1 - Requested move and not in this talk page section. Thank you.  —RM bot 04:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

There is a short section here speculating about the moon's future naming. However, S/2012 P1 does not have such a section. Either we should add one to its page or remove the one here.  134340Goat (talk) 04:20, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

In this article the physical dimensions or Kerberos are all over the map.
Alan Stern Et. al. The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons Sciencemag Online gives it as 2.6 to 14 km from this source ↵ M. R. Showalter, D. P. Hamilton, Resonant interactions and chaotic rotation of Pluto’s small moons. Nature 522, 45–49 (2015). CrossRefMedlineGoogle Scholar
The first paragraph of the article gives it as "about" 17 km. (diameter) and is consistent with the previous result  as  17 km is i the mid-range of DIA 5.2 to 24 km. 
In this paragraph size is given as " When first discovered, Kerberos was given an estimated diameter of 13–34 km (8–21 mi)  which I guess it is Ok because it references the time of Discovery and it was an extimated based of an asumed abedo.  Source:  Stern, S. A.; Bagenal, F.; Ennico, K. (2015-10-16). "The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons". Science 350 (6258): aad1815. doi:10.1126/science.aad1815. ISSN 0036-8075. PMID 26472913.
At the end of this paragraph, however, I have added the latest information available which now seems to contradict the information By Mr.Showlker, D.P. Hamilton published earlier this year in Nature 522, pages 45-49  which I personally cant rread because you need to have a paying subscription to Nature!    http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v522/n7554/full/nature14469.html This information although published online on March 2015 is based on obserbation mades by the HST on dates elapsing from May 2005 to June 2012
This latest info says that the boby (Kerberos) ...appears to have a double-lobed shape, approximately 7.4 miles (12 kilometers) across in its long dimension and 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) in its shortest dimension. 
So I would like some opinions which of the two seems more reliable as to the aceptable dimensions of Kereberos. the Nature's M. R.  Showalker et.al. or the info provided on the John Hopkins University Pluto webpage?Rudy235 (talk) 02:22, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

### AWKWARD EDITING
The MASS of Kerberus has a source  Table I of the Pluto Table 1 Properties of the Pluto-Charon system.  GM is quoted there as 0.0011 ± 0.0006 GM (km3 s–2)  Now if you have GM you have mass.  It is no longer valid to put a ? after mass.  the accepted value for G being the Gravitational Constant is 6.674 x10-11 N-m^2-kg^-2 gives by division the result 16.5 x 10^15 Kg 
So that mass is NO LONGER ?
as to Radius  They are several sources ( See above) For instance Resonant interactions and chaotic rotation of Pluto/'s small moons
MR Showalter, DP Hamilton - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Four small moons—Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra—follow near-circular, near-equatorial 
orbits around the central 'binary planet'comprising Pluto and its large moon, Charon. New 
observational details of the system have emerged following the discoveries of Kerberos ...  Gives a Radius of 2.6 to 14 km  (8.3± 5.7)
Newer observations give a different approximation   "Kerberos Revealed". pluto.jhuapl.edu. NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute. October 22, 2015. Retrieved October 22, 2015. gives this:  Kerberos appears to have a double-lobed shape, approximately 7.4 mi (11.9 km) across in its long dimension and 2.8 mi (4.5 km) in its shortest dimension.[15]

The numbers quoted by user Rudy235 are not supported by his reference. That paper quotes Kerberos only once and it says this about it: "measurements of Styx and Kerberos have not yet been downlinked.. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 14:28, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

user Batteryincluded: You need to be more clear.  Which "that paper"? I cited several.  Also which are "those numbers"?  The mass? The radius that says it is between 2.6 and 14 km, the dimensions where it says it is 11.9 x 4.8 km? You need to be more specific and not just make blanket statements.
GO TO THIS LINK http://www.sciencemag.org/content/350/6258/aad1815/T1.expansion.html   and look at the linre of Kerberos   It gives this dimensions for Kerberos 2.6 to 14† (Radius-km)

ALL THIS I PUT here earlier for everyone to give an opinion yesterday Before you did your reverts and yet you did not discuss.  Mass has an origin too It is the GM quantity on the Table 1 0.0011±0.006 (km^3-s^-2Rudy235 (talk)

~False statements again. You keep warring and reverting to this reference: "The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons", which clearly states that the measurements data have not been downlinked from the spacecraft. And the table you indicate are the currently known values: 2.6 to 14 Radius (km); 57,750 semi major axis (km) but you keep changing those values.  BatteryIncluded (talk) 15:01, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Ok we are beginning to get somewhere  2.6 to 14 is mathematically the same as 8.3± 5.7 km So I am ONLY changing the presentation to the more acceptable x±y format but both mean exactly the same. Therefore by your own admission this is a sound value So go ahead and put it in the Kerberos page in the info. By the way the 6 x 2 Km is not in the source that this user is using. THIS is what that source says regarding Kerberos: The new data, downlinked from the New Horizons spacecraft on Oct. 20, show that Kerberos appears to have a double-lobed shape, with the larger lobe approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) across and the smaller lobe approximately 3 miles (5 kilometers) across.Rudy235 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 15:40, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Off-topic note here, I recently re-added an information by Rudy that is indeed verifiable. He actually just copy and pasted the text from the source, but I guess that's ok, considering it is only a sentence. Huritisho 15:29, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Not contesting the 2-lobe shape, but the [numerical] dimensions. BatteryIncluded (talk) 15:35, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Sure, I know that. Huritisho 15:39, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
@BatteryIncluded: Rudy's other edits really may be incorrect, but the numerical dimensions related to the 2-lobe shape indeed are verifiable. Huritisho 15:51, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
@Rudy235: Another, perhaps more serious problem was repeatedly replacing the latest figures with old figures. That was certainly disruptive. As for our attitudes, if you make crappy edits, you can hardly expect others to be happy about it -- and you have established a reputation for making crappy edits. If I see your name in the article history, my first suspicion is that you screwed something up again. 
BTW, "2.6 to 14 km" may be arithmatically the same as "8.3 ± 5.7 km", but it's not semantically the same. The first does not imply a most probable value, the second does, and is unduly precise. — kwami (talk) 17:36, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kwamikagami: That may be so. I never said they were "semantically" the same. I was simply puting it in the same format as the rest of the values in the chart. I have no issue with someone putting it as 2.6 to 14 km. I do not believe, however, that converting to the most frecuently used format means someone is faking the data. As to what you ealier said that i have stablished a "reputation" that is a self fullfilling prophesy, is it not? I mean they delete you 10 times (in a baseless manner) and Voila! you now have a reputation and anyone can delete you on that basis.  I stand by my edits and when I make a mistake (UNLIKE OTHERS HERE) I admit it. As I did with the Albedo ~ 50% in which I went above and beyong and not only sellf reverted but also included the reference that was left of by the OP.  Thanks for discussingRudy235 (talk)
I never said changing the format was faking data.
As for admitting your mistakes, maybe you should ask yourself why multiple people are reverting you multiple times, and suggesting you might be a sock for an editor who's been banned for bad behaviour. I did not come to the conclusion that you generally make crappy edits because people reverted you. I came to that conclusion because I witnessed those edits and your edit-warring to keep them. Such as replacing data announced that very day with data from an older source that has footnotes warning the reader that no recent data is available. — kwami (talk) 18:45, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
As I said I stand by what you call "my mistakes". They are sourced, unlike the Albedo number of ~ 50% that was not sourced at the time Was that a mistake on the part of the OP?   Anyway I can see you are biased against me. This sockpuppetry so called investigation HAS BEEN PROVED FALSE.  The net sum of all this unwarranted editing is hammmering down the user.   Seems there is a clique of old users with no other mission in life that preventing "newer users" from doing any edits. I can feel your bias as much as you are now planning to acusse me once again of being a sock. This time I will not take it lightly and will consider it a personal attack. For what it's worth, perhaps you can ban me, but I will not be beaten.Rudy235 (talk)

Everyone, chill out. Rudy235, if you make an edit to the article adding a specific measurement or whatnot, you must ensure that the citation you provide actually backs up what you wrote. You kept citing "The Pluto System" article even though it specifically stated that data on Kerberos was unavailable. This is unacceptable, and you should not be surprised when someone reverts you. — Huntster (t @ c) 16:52, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

It is NOT a question of "Chilling out". It is a question or professionalism and minumum standards.Rudy235 (talk)
Considering all values are approximates/estimates, I don't think it matters much. Huritisho 02:57, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

tidally locked – can this be linked or explained?
Its rotational period was about 5.33 days at the time of the New Horizons flyby, though this would later vary due to its chaotic rotation. –
suggest remove "would later", as it had varied before the flyby already.

All of Pluto's other moons including Kerberos – either remove "other" or "including".
The orbital period of 32.16756 – orbital period was just mentioned.
Kerberos received the minor planet designation S/2011 (134340) 1 because it was the first satellite (S) discovered orbiting minor planet (134340) in 2011 – I really would state that this minor planet (134340) is Pluto, for extra clarity.
Not that much of a problem for a GA, but I would avoid citing news sources whenever the scientific papers these news are based on can be cited directly.
Not sure about the "Science fiction" section. The first sentence might be relevant, but what does it mean for the topic, what it the relation to the moon? Did it influence the choice of name? The second paragraph misses a date, and a source. I suggest to either add a source or just remove.
All in all a nice and interesting little overview. Thanks for that. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:07, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
Done. Thank you for your feedback. Nrco0e (talk) 00:17, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
