SATELLITES OF (22) KALLIOPE AND (45) EUGENIA As noted on MPC 49221, the responsibility in the IAU for naming satellites of minor planets was recently transferred from the Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) to the Committee on Small Bodies Nomenclature (CSBN), which at its meetings in Sydney in July adopted the name "Linus" for the satellite (22) Kalliope I = S/2001 (22) 1 (cf. IAUC 7703). In the same vein, three years ago, the WGPSN adopted the name "Petit Prince" for the satellite (45) Eugenia I = S/1998 (45) 1 (cf. IAUC 7129).

SATELLITES OF JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS
