Orbital clustering of martian Trojans: An asteroid family in the inner Solar System?

Three new stable L5 Mars Trojans

Mars was second to Jupiter in being recognized as the host of a population of Trojan minor bodies. Since 1990, five asteroids - 5261 Eureka, (101429) 1998 VF31, (121514) 1999 UJ7, 2001 DH47 and…

A Martian origin for the Mars Trojan asteroids

Seven of the nine known Mars Trojan asteroids belong to an orbital cluster1,2 named after its largest member, (5261) Eureka. Eureka is probably the progenitor of the whole cluster, which formed at…

The olivine-dominated composition of the Eureka family of Mars Trojan asteroids

We have used the XSHOOTER echelle spectrograph on the European Southern Obseratory (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) to obtain UVB-VIS-NIR (ultraviolet-blue (UVB), visible (VIS) and near-infrared…

Aims. The goal of this investigation is to determine the origin and surface composition of the asteroid (121514) 1999 UJ7, the only currently known L4 Martian Trojan asteroid. Methods. We have…

Cartography for Martian Trojans

The last few months have seen the discovery of a second Martian Trojan (1998 VF31) as well as two further possible candidates (1998 QH56 and 1998 SD4). Together with the previously discovered Martian…

Origin and evolution of Trojan asteroids

The regions around the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points of Jupiter are populated by two large swarms of asteroids called the Trojans. They may be as numerous as the main-belt asteroids and their dynamics…

Dynamics of Mars Trojans

In this paper we explore the dynamical stability of the Mars Trojan region applying mainly Laskar’s Frequency Map Analysis. This yields the chaotic diffusion rate of orbits and allows to determine…

Chaotic capture of Jupiter's Trojan asteroids in the early Solar System

It is shown that the Trojans could have formed in more distant regions and been subsequently captured into co-orbital motion with Jupiter during the time when the giant planets migrated by removing neighbouring planetesimals.
