The eighteen members of the group are (in order of increasing distance from Saturn):
Four moons form a sub-group, the Skathi subgroup. Their Semi-major Axes range between 15 and 20 Gm, their Inclination s between 147° and 158°. Narvi may also be a sub-group of its own. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) reserves names taken from Norse mythology (mostly giants) for these moons. The exception is Phoebe, the largest, which was discovered long before the others. EXTERNAL LINK
