It was discovered on 18 July 1999 by [[John J. Kavelaars]] ''et al.'' and provisionally designated '''S/1999 U 1'''.<ref name="Gladman Discovery 2000" /> [[File:Setebos discovery.gif|thumb|left|upright|Animation of discovery images taken in July 1999]] Confirmed as '''Uranus XIX''', it is named after the god [[Setebos]] worshipped by [[Caliban]] and [[Sycorax]] in [[William Shakespeare]]'s play ''[[The Tempest (play)|The Tempest]]''. The orbital parameters suggest that it may belong to the same dynamic cluster as [[Sycorax (moon)|Sycorax]] and [[Prospero (moon)|Prospero]], suggesting common origin.<ref name="Grav2003" /> However, this suggestion does not appear to be supported by the observed colours. The satellite appears neutral (grey) in [[visible light]] ([[color index|colour indices]] {{nobr|B−V {{=}} 0.77 ,}} {{nobr|R−V {{=}} 0.35 ),}}{{sfn|Grav|Holman|Fraser|2004|p=}} similar to Prospero but different from Sycorax (which is light red). A crater on [[Umbriel]] is also named after Setebos, but with the spelling [[Umbriel#Surface features|Setibos]]. == See also == * [[Setebos]] * [[Moons of Uranus]] * [[Irregular satellite]]s == References == {{reflist|25em|refs= <ref name="JPL"> {{cite web | last = Yeomans | first = Donald K. | date = 2007-06-28 | title = Planetary Satellite Mean Orbital Parameters | publisher = JPL/NASA | url = http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?sat_elem#uranus | access-date = 2008-01-19 }} </ref> <ref name="Gladman Discovery 2000"> [[Brett J.
