Alimede, o Nettuno IX, è un satellite irregolare e retrogrado di Nettuno, scoperto il 14 agosto 2002 da un gruppo di ricerca coordinato da Matthew Holman e composto da John Kavelaars, Tommy Grav, Wesley Fraser e Dan Milisavljevic.[1][2][3][4] Nella stessa occasione furono scoperti anche altri due satelliti, Laomedea e Sao.

Etimologia

I satelliti irregolari di Nettuno.

Alimede, o Nettuno IX, come molti altri satelliti di Nettuno, deriva il suo nome da quello di Alimede (in greco Αλιμήδη?), una Nereide secondo la mitologia greca, quinta figlia di Nereo e Doris. Prima dell'annuncio ufficiale del suo nome da parte dell'Unione Astronomica Internazionale il 3 febbraio 2007, era noto con la designazione provvisoria S/2002 N 1.

Parametri orbitali

L'orbita di Alimede è la seconda per eccentricità e la terza per inclinazione tra i satelliti di Nettuno,[5] come evidenziato nel diagramma. I satelliti al di sopra dell'asse orizzontale hanno moto progrado, mentre quelli al di sotto sono retrogradi. Il segmento giallo si estende dal pericentro all'apocentro, mostrando l'eccentricità.

Parametri fisici

Alimede ha un diametro di 62 km (calcolato assumendo un'albedo di 0,04[6]) e appare di colore grigio in luce visibile. Data la somiglianza del colore con quella dell'altro satellite Nereide e l'elevata probabilità di collisioni (41%)[2] nel corso della passata storia del sistema solare, si ritiene che il satellite possa essere un frammento di Nereide.[7]
