Jupiter trojan
The Jupiter trojans , commonly called Trojan asteroids or simply Trojans , are a large group of asteroids that share the planet Jupiter 's orbit around the Sun . Relative to Jupiter, each Trojan librates around one of Jupiter's two stable Lagrange points : L 4 , lying 60° ahead of the planet in its orbit, and L 5 , 60° behind. Jupiter trojans are distributed in two elongated, curved regions around these Lagrangian points with an average semi-major axis of about 5.2 AU. [1]

The Jupiter trojans , commonly called Trojan asteroids or just Trojans , are a large group of asteroids that share the planet Jupiter 's orbit around the Sun . They are named for heroes in the ancient Greek tales of the Trojan War . Relative to Jupiter, each Trojan librates around one of Jupiter's two stable Lagrange points : L 4 , lying 60° ahead of the planet in its orbit, and L 5 , 60° behind. Jupiter trojans are distributed in two elongated, curved regions around these Lagrangian points with an average semi-major axis of about 5.2 AU. [1] If you draw a line from Jupiter to each group of asteroids (one group that follows Jupiter in its orbit, and others that move ahead of it in its orbit), and then draw lines from Jupiter and both groups to the Sun, you will have two equal-sided triangles.

The Jupiter Trojans , commonly called simply Trojans or Trojan asteroids , are a large group of objects that share the orbit of the planet Jupiter around the Sun. Relative to a coordinate system that is fixed on Jupiter, each Trojan orbits one or other of the two Lagrangian points of stability, L 4 and L 5 , that respectively lie 60° ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit. The Trojan asteroids have orbits with semi-major axes between 5.05 AU and 5.40 AU, and they are distributed throughout elongated, curved regions around the two Lagrangian points. The name "Trojans" comes from the convention that they are named after mythological figures of the Trojan War . |

The Trojan asteroids (or "Trojans"), strictly interpreted, are a large group of objects that share the orbit of the planet Jupiter around the Sun. Relative to a coordinate system that is fixed on Jupiter, each Trojan orbits one or other of the two Lagrangian points of stability, L 4 and L 5 , that respectively lie 60° ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit.

The Trojan asteroids are a large group of objects that share the orbit of the planet Jupiter around the Sun. Viewed from a coordinate system that is fixed on Jupiter, they appear to orbit one of the two Lagrangian points of stability, L 4 and L 5 , that lie 60° ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit. They have semi-major axes between 5.05 AU and 5.40 AU, and lie in elongated, curved regions around the two Lagrangian points. They are called 'Trojans' because of a convention whereby they are named after characters from the Trojan War . |

In February 1906 , the German astronomer Max Wolf discovered an asteroid at the L 4 Lagrangian point of the Sun - Jupiter system, and named it 588 Achilles , after the mythical Achilles , one of the heroes of Homer 's Iliad . The oddity of its orbit was realized within a few months, and before long, many other asteroids were discovered at this point (and the other triangular Lagrange point of the Sun-Jupiter system). |
