	Dactyl (asteroid) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(243) Ida I Dactyl is a tiny asteroid moon (diameter 1.4 km) that orbits asteroid 243 Ida.
		The satellite was named after the mythical creatures called dactyls who lived on the Mount Ida according to the Greek mythology.
		Dactyl orbits Ida with a period of 1.54 days at an average distance of 108 km, with an inclination of 9° to Ida's equator.

	How can an Asteroid have a Moon?
		At the distance of Dactyl's orbit (90 km), the escape velocity is 9.3 meters/second.
		We have estimated the mean orbital speed of Dactyl at 6.5 meters/second and the escape velocity at the 90-kilometer orbit as 9.3 meters/second.
		Dactyl is far too small to alter the orbit of Ida appreciably, and so they will not change places in their solar orbit.

	Asteroid Ida and Dactyl
		Dactyl is the first natural satellite of an asteroid ever discovered and photographed.
		Dactyl is made more or less from the same kind of material as Ida. As an S-type asteroid, Ida is composed mostly of silicate rocks.
		Ida is the large object to the left and Dactyl is the small object to the right.

	243 Ida
		Dactyl (right) is about 1.6 x 1.2 km, surprisingly round for such a small body.
		Interestingly, while the spectra of Ida and Dactyl are very similar they are nevertheless distinctly different; Dactyl is not simply a chunk of Ida. It is thought that the binary system may have formed during the collision and breakup that created the Koronis family.
		The surfaces of Ida and Dactyl are heavily cratered and therefore apparently quite old.

	18. Ida and Dactyl
		Dactyl is not identical in spectral properties to any area of Ida in view here, though its overall similarity in reflectance and general spectral type suggests that it is made of basically the same rock types.
		Their locations in these images were used to estimate Dactyl's orbit and Ida's bulk density, which is of great interest because it may indicate whether Ida is composed of rocks that have been thermally processed deep within a collisionally destroyed planetesimal.
		HST would have easily seen Dactyl had it been more than about 700 km from Ida. Combining these two restrictions gives a preliminary estimate for Ida's density of 2.2 to 2.9 grams per cubic centimeter, and shows that Dactyl is, in fact, a satellite of Ida's.

	Dactyl
		Dactyl was found in orbit around Ida by the Galileo probe when it flew by the asteroid in 1993.
		Interestingly, the spectra of Ida (an S-class asteroid) and Dactyl reveal that the compositions of the two objects, though similar, are not identical; Dactyl is not simply a bit of Ida that broke off.
		Instead, it is thought that the binary system may have formed during the collision and breakup that created the Koronis family of asteroids.

	Wordcarvers: Anapest, Dactyl
		Anapests are easier than dactyls for a simple reason: the "base meter"; of spoken English is iambic, and the anapest is an "extended iamb".
		The dactyl, on the other hand, is an "extended trochee", and as a matter of fact most people find it harder to write in trochaic than they do in iambs.
		Dactyls were very popular with the ancient Greeks, because the meter was very natural to their spoken language, just as iambs are very natural in English.

	Dactyl
		In Greek mythology, the Dactyls (Greek for "fingers") were the archaic race of small phallic male beings associated with the Great Mother, whether as Cybele or Rhea, spirit-men like the Curetes, Cabiri and Korybantes.
		Of Celmis, Ovid (in Metamorphoses iv) made a story that when Rhea was offended at this childhood companion of Zeus, she asked Zeus to turn him to diamond-hard adamant, like a tempered blade.
		An Idaean dactyl named Herakles (perhaps the earliest embodiment of the later hero) originated the Olympic Games by instigating a race among his four "finger" brothers.

	Solving for Dactyl's Orbit and Ida's Density
		Initial attempts to apply classical astronomical orbit-fitting methods to estimate Dactyl's orbit, assuming a reasonable value for Ida's density, suffered from numerical problems caused by the Galileo-to-Ida line of sight being nearly in the plane of Dactyl's orbit for most of the images.
		Since Dactyl was viewed for only a fraction of its orbit and from a nearly edge-on vantage point, all of the orbits shown fit the observations equally well.
		If one imagines being on the Galileo spacecraft looking at Ida and Dactyl, then all of the orbit solutions would have appeared the same during the 5-hour approach, since the differences between them are all along the line of sight (the parallel lines in the figure).

	18. Ida and Dactyl
		Density calculations were based on an Ida volume of 16,100 cubic kilometers, which was determined from an accurate model of the shape of Ida based on Galileo's images.
		Instead, a series of Dactyl orbits were generated for a range of Ida mass/density values -from 1.5 to 4.0 grams per cubic centimeter.
		Combining these two restrictions gives a preliminary estimate for Ida's density of 2.2 to 2.9 grams per cubic centimeter, and shows that Dactyl is, in fact, a satellite of Ida's.

	[No title]
		The most remarkable thing about these pictures was the discovery of a tiny moon, Dactyl.
		At 90 kilometers distance, the sun has four times as much attraction as Ida. The mass of Ida is so small, that the distant sun influences Dactyl's orbit much more than the close by asteroid.
		The result is that astronomers expect the moons to change places as they whirl around Saturn.

	a fool in the forest: Double Dactyls
		A week ago, I crafted a new bit of topical light verse, a double dactyl on the issuance of marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples in San Francisco.
		The double dactyl requires two quatrains, each consisting of three lines of dactylic dimeter and a concluding choriamb (or, if you will, another dactyl with an extra syllable tacked on.) The final lines of the quatrains must rhyme.
		So sue me. The double dactyl is a fine form for glib political comment or just for a lark, and no one will ever get the impression that you take yourself too seriously when you use it.

	19. Highest-Resolution Image of Dactyl
		Dactyl is surprisingly round, measuring about 1.2 x 1.4 x 1.6 kilometers (0.75 x 0.87 x 1 miles).
		If Gaspra has a permanent magnetic moment, the finding would have bearing on its thermal history, have implications for the history of the magnetic field of the early solar system, and give us more reason to believe some asteroids are very rich in iron or iron-nickel alloys of considerable economic value.
		Further work on the stability of Dactyl's possible orbits, as well as a more precise analysis of Dactyl, may lead to a better determination of both the density of Ida and the orbit of Dactyl.

	Dactyls
		The Dactyls are sometimes identified with the Cabiri, Curetes and Corybantes; mostly because of the mystery cults that surrounded those groups.
		Their name is derived from daktylos ("finger") and is probably based either on their skill with metals or on their small size.

		Asteroid Ida's satellite Dactyl was observed over 5 1 2 hr by the Galileo spacecraft imaging system.
		Dactyl likely formed at the same time as Ida, so its orbit must be stable over time scales much longer than we have been able to explore numerically.
		The low-order p:1 and p:2 resonances, corresponding to a high density for Ida, are distinct and stable and are all consistent with the longitudinal position of Dactyl at the epoch of the Galileo encounter.

	Dactyl, the Moon of Ida (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Originally Dactyl was thought to be an S-type asteroid, but given its low density (2.9 g/cm³), some now believe it to be a C-type.
		One theory to Dactyl's origin is that it simply split off of Ida sometime in the past, but there seem to be enough differences to dispute this theory.
		Interestingly, Ida and Dactyl are both heavily cratered indicating that they are quite old (while the Koronis family is relatively young), but an object of Dactyl's size would not survive long enough for its surface to become so aged.
