Inuit group

[2] Recent observations, however, revealed that Ijiraq is distinctly redder than Paaliaq, Siarnaq and Kiviuq.

In addition, unlike the other three, Ijiraq's spectrum does not display weak absorption near 0.7 μm.

[3] The spectral homogeneity (with the exception of Ijiraq) is consistent with a common origin in the break-up of a single object but the dispersion of the orbital parameters requires further explanation.

Recently reported secular resonances among the members could provide the explanation of the post-collisional dispersion.

The thirteen known members of the Inuit group are (sorted by distance from Saturn in their respective subgroups): Mean orbital parameters: from JPL

Animation of Saturn's Inuit group of satellites
Kiviuq · Ijiraq · Paaliaq · Siarnaq · Tarqeq
Diagram illustrating the orbits of the irregular satellites of Saturn, showing the three Inuit subgroups. The inclination and semi-major axis are represented on the Y and X-axis, respectively. The satellites with inclinations below 90° are prograde , those above 90° are retrograde . The X-axis is labeled in terms of Saturn's Hill radius .
