thumb|upright=1.5|107 irregular moons of Jupiter plotted by semi-major axis and inclination . The Carme group is shown as a tight cluster of red-colored points on the left.
The Carme group (or family or cluster), also referred to as the 165° inclination cluster,

!Name||Diameter<br>(km) The parent body was probably about the size of Carme, 46 km in diameter; 99% of the group's mass is still located in Carme.
Further support to the single body origin comes from the known colours: all the satellites appear light red, with colour indices B-V= 0.76 and V-R= 0.47 and infrared spectra, similar to D-type asteroids. These data are consistent with a progenitor from the Hilda family or a Jupiter trojan.
