S/2003 J 24

S/2003 J 24 (temporarily designated EJc0061) is an irregular natural satellite of Jupiter, discovered by Scott S. Sheppard et al. in 2003.
Kai Ly had recovered four lost moons of Jupiter that were recently discovered in 2003: S/2003 J 23, S/2003 J 12, S/2003 J 4, and S/2003 J 2. Eventually, he found S/2003 J 24, that was not yet confirmed by IAU.
S/2003 J 24 orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 23,088,000 km in 715.4 days, at an inclination of 162° to the ecliptic, in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.25.
S/2003 J 24 belongs to the Carme group, made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter in the opposite direction from its rotation. S/2003 J 24 is the 80th satellite of Jupiter announced.
