S/2019 S 6 is a natural satellite of Saturn. Its discovery was announced by Edward Ashton and Brett J. Gladman on May 8, 2023 from observations taken between July 3, 2019 and July 8, 2021.[1]

S/2019 S 6 is about 4 kilometers in diameter, and it orbits Saturn at an average distance of 18.050 Gm in 905.41 days, at an inclination of 49.6° and eccentricity of 0.040.[3] S/2019 S 6 could either be part of the Inuit group and a Siarnaq fragment[4] or the Gallic group but a distant prograde outlier moon like S/2006 S 12 and S/2004 S 24.[a]

Notes

  1. ^ a b JPL's mean orbital elements suggest an inclination that is similar to those of the Gallic group; however other sources say it belongs to the Inuit group.
