A Crater Chronology for the Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present a new crater chronology for Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. This tool can be used to interpret the collisional history of the bodies observed by NASA’s Lucy mission. The Lucy mission will visit a total of six Trojan asteroids: Eurybates, Polymele,

Review of Jupiter-Trojan asteroids research
地球与行星物理论评Jupiter-Trojan asteroids, as fossils of planet formation, orbiting the Sun in Jupiter's stable Lagrange points, provide a unique and critical insight into planetary origins, the sources of volatiles and organics on the terrestrial planets, and the ...

Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distribution of Jupiter Trojans
The Astronomical JournalJupiter Trojans (JTs) librate about the Lagrangian stationary centers L4 and L5 associated with this planet on typically small-eccentricity and moderate-inclination heliocentric orbits.

Apsidal asymmetric-alignment of Jupiter Trojans [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT The most distant Kuiper belt objects exhibit the clustering in their orbits, and this anomalous architecture could be caused by Planet 9 with large eccentricity and high inclination. We then suppose that the orbital clustering of minor planets may be observed somewhere else in the Solar system.

CAPTURE OF TROJANS BY JUMPING JUPITER [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 Jupiter Trojans are thought to be survivors of a much larger population of planetesimals that existed in the planetary region when planets formed. They can provide important constraints on the mass and properties of the planetesimal disk, and its dispersal during planet migration.

Origin and Evolution of Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids
Space Science Reviews, 2023 AbstractThe origin of the Jupiter Trojan asteroids has long been a mystery. Dynamically, the population, which is considerably smaller than the main asteroid belt, librates around Jupiter’s stable L4 and L5 Lagrange points, 60 deg ahead and behind Jupiter.

The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Collisional families offer a unique window into the interior composition of asteroid populations. Previous dynamical studies of the Jupiter Trojans have uncovered a handful of potential collisional families, two of which have been subsequently confirmed ...

FOSSIL. I. The Spin Rate Limit of Jupiter Trojans [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Abstract Rotation periods of 53 small (diameters 2 km < D < 40 km) Jupiter Trojans (JTs) were derived using the high-cadence lightcurves obtained by the FOSSIL phase I survey, a Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam intensive program. These are the first reported periods measured for JTs with D < 10 km. We found a lower limit of the rotation

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated across the primordial Kuiper Belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the giant planets.
