Kalyke/ˈkæləkiː/,also known asJupiter XXIII,is aretrograde irregular satelliteofJupiter.It was discovered by a team of astronomers from theUniversity of Hawaiiled byScott S. Sheppardin 2000, and given the temporary designationS/2000 J 2.^[5]^[1]

From infrared thermal measurements by theWISEspacecraft, Kalyke'salbedois measured at 2.9%, corresponding to a diameter of 6.9 kilometres.^[3]It orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 23,181,000 km in 766.61 days, at aninclinationof 166° to theecliptic(165° to Jupiter's equator), in aretrogradedirection and with aneccentricityof 0.2140.

It was named in October 2002 after the Greek mythological figure Kalyke orCalyce.^[6]

Kalyke observed by theWISEspacecraft in 2010

It belongs to theCarme group,made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between 23 and 24 Gm and at an inclination of about 165°. Kalyke is redder in color (B−V=0.94, V−R=0.70) than other moons of the Carme group, suggesting that it is a capturedcentaurorTNO,or a remnant of such an object that collided with the Carme group progenitor.^[7]
