The little world of Hycea (by me)

I think it’s 9 hours.

So it spins rather fast I see…
Are other moons in the 2006-c system tidally locked to the main planet?

They’re tidally locked.

So Hycaea is the only one nonlocked, right?

Yes, you are correct.

Don’t moons like this get tidally locked over time though?

But in the future, it might get tidally locked.

I see. How fast does it orbit around 2006c again?

Probably similar to Earth.

You mean 24h or 365d by that?

No, I thought you ment the orbital speed.

In how much time does it orbit then?

The sidereal orbital period might be similar to the Galilean moons.

By the way would Hycaea be in an orbital resonance with an another moon of 2006c?

Maybe it’s similar to the 1:2:4 orbital resonance of the Galilean moons and Jupiter.

Would is be in such resonance with pseudoeuropa and angelos?

Maybe yes, but the rest of the system will be covered in a new chapter.

Chapter 5: Small Moons
The Kepler 2006 system is interesting to say the least, there’s only 2 planets, a habitable moon and a carbon planet, but there’s more. This chapter is about covering the small moons.

There’s the small moons that Kepler 2006 c has. There’s a lot of them including Dewel, Sqerg, Sqe, Werrtyi and Yuqri, the moon of Skariluk is the biggest moon other than the 3 moons.

The inbetween moons are Smallwild, Bigwild and Waterwild, Waterwild is an unsusual moon due to having both ice and silicate as it’s surface and is circlular.

Quite small these are for circular moons…

There’s already a chapter about them, go check it out.

By the way, are there dwarf planets beyond the main two planets in this system?
