List of Jupiter trojans (Trojan camp)
See also: List of Jupiter trojans (Greek camp)
This is a list of Jupiter trojans that lie in the Trojan camp, an elongated, curved region around the trailing L5 Lagrangian point 60° behind Jupiter.[1]
All the asteroids at the trailing L5 point have names corresponding to participants on the Trojan side of the Trojan War, except for 617 Patroclus, which was named before this naming convention was instituted. Correspondingly, 624 Hektor is a Trojan-named asteroid at the "Greek" (L4) Lagrangian point.
Trojans in the Greek and Trojan camp are discovered mainly in turns, because they are separated by 120°, and for a period of time one group of trojans will be behind the Sun, and the other will be visible.
