Satellite system

Satellite system – In a broad sense, a satellite system is a collection of interconnected objects that are in orbit around an object of planetary mass (including dwarf planets and asteroids) or a minor planet, or its barycenter. In fact, it is a collection of satellites that are natural. However, such systems may consist of bodies such as planetary disks and rings, moons, satellites of minor planets and artificial satellites, each of which can create its own satellite system. (For more information, see Satellites). Other bodies have quasi-satellites whose orbits are influenced by the gravity of their main star, but they are usually not part of a satellite system. These systems can have complex interactions, including magnetic, tidal, and atmospheric interactions. Orbital resonances and libration are also possible. There are separate large satellite objects, which are indicated by Roman numerals. As a rule, satellites are designated either by possessive adjectives to their main system (for example, “Jupiter system”), or, in rare cases, by the name of this system (for example, “Jupiter system”). In the event that only two satellites are known, or they represent a double system with a common center of gravity, the names of the main and main satellites can be used to designate it in the form of hyphenated letter combinations (for example, “Earth-Moon system”).
It is known that some of the objects in the Solar System have satellite systems, but their origin is still unclear. Key examples include the Jupiter system with 95 known moons, including the large Galilean moons, and the largest overall Saturn system with 146 significant moons (including Titan, the rings of the Solar System and the most visible elements). Both satellite systems have a very large number of different systems. According to research, all the giant planets of the Solar system have huge satellite systems and planetary rings, which is a common pattern. Some objects farther from the Sun have satellite systems consisting of several moons and complex orbital systems of Pluto, in which several objects unite around a common center of mass, as well as many asteroids and plutinos. In addition to the Earth-Moon system and two small natural satellites of Mars, other planets of the Earth group are not included in the list of satellite systems, although there are artificial satellites in their orbits that were created using technologies developed on Earth.
To date, almost nothing is known about the existence of satellite systems outside the Solar System, although it is assumed that they are widespread. The given example of an extrasolar satellite system can be called J1407b. It is believed that planets that have been ejected from their planetary system can retain a satellite system.
