Trojan asteroids are a subgroup located outside the region of the main belt. There are two swarms in the orbit of Jupiter located sixty degrees ahead and sixty degrees behind the planet as it orbits the Sun. These particular positions are called Lagrangian points, places where the asteroids are held by a combination of the gravity force of the Sun and Jupiter. A hundred or more are known. Most are 50 kilometers or larger in size. They're all named after Homer's epic poem about the Trojan War. The largest is 624 Hector which is 100 by 300 kilometers in size.

An asteroid is caught in a synchronized orbit with the Earth, dancing back and forth relative to our planet as both circle the sun, a team of Canadian scientists has discovered.
The object, which for now is dubbed 2010 TK7, is a "Trojan" asteroid, meaning that it is held in a delicate balance between a gravitational tug from the sun and an equal tug from the Earth.
It's long been known that Jupiter, Neptune and Mars have Trojans orbiting alongside them, but this is the first time one has been found alongside our planet.
"An image of dancers is helpful," said Paul Wiegert, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Western Ontario and an author of the study, published online Wednesday in the journal, Nature. "The Earth goes around the sun in a circle, and the asteroid dances in front of it, getting closer and farther away as it orbits."
TK7 is about 90 degrees from the Earth right now, and its distance from Earth ranges from 49.7 million miles to 12.4 million miles. The composition and surface characteristics of TK7 are unclear, though it is believed to be several hundred feet in diameter -- "on the largish side" for a near-Earth asteroid, Wiegert said.
Because it typically remains on the sunward side of the Earth, venturing only occasionally into the night sky, it has been difficult to detect until now. Trojan asteroids commonly dwell on the daylight sides of their planet. And its existence indicates that there are probably others, even less accessible by telescope.
"It is very hard to survey the entire area that could contain these objects," said Timothy Spahr, director of the NASA-funded Minor Planet Center at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory. "So when we find one object, it's likely that we didn't find the only one."
Trojans are found in areas called Lagrange triangular points, where the gravitational pull from the host planet and star -- in this case, Earth and the sun -- balance out. This Trojan was found at L4, which is 60 degrees ahead of the Earth.
It has been predicted for a while that such objects existed, said Spahr, who was not involved in the research. "I doubt that there's anything different about this than any other near-Earth asteroid, other than that it's locked in orbit around the Earth. But don't get me wrong, I think this is totally cool."
Scientists first glimpsed TK7 in October 2010 with NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. The team confirmed the object as a Trojan asteroid using optical images from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in April. Subsequent computer modeling indicates that it will "happily stay in its orbit for at least 10,000 years," Wiegert said.
The authors found the initial signs of the asteroid from a public data set. "I love to think of a data set being pored over like that," Spahr said.
Mike Brown, a planetary astronomer at California Institute of Technology, called the finding a "great technical achievement", but said it will be hard to understand where the asteroid came from and the implications it has for better understanding Earth and the solar system.
"The object is indisputably there," he said. "The only weakness is not a weakness of the study, it's of reality. We don't know what it means."
The Trojan could be a chunk left over from the event that caused the formation of the moon, he said. The prevailing theory is that the moon was formed when a Mars-sized body hit the Earth, flinging material outward.
"That could have blasted other pieces that got stuck in these Lagrangian points," he added. "But if I had to guess, I would say it's just a little asteroid that got temporarily trapped in that location, and if you came back in a million years, it would be gone."
The first Trojan asteroids were discovered around Jupiter, and named after ancient Greek and Trojan heroes: 588 Achilles, 659 Nestor, 911 Agamemnon and 1143 Odysseus are examples.
Such findings could tell us more about the risk of impacts from asteroids near Earth, Wiegert said: "This particular asteroid is one of the safest of asteroids that orbit in the vicinity of the Earth. It's not dangerous. But it tells us about asteroids that live near the Earth, and it tells us about the risks of impacts."

Trojan (astronomy)
In astronomy, a trojan is a minor planet or moon that shares the orbit of a planet or larger moon, wherein the trojan remains in the same, stable position relative to the larger object. In particular, a trojan remains near one of the two trojan points of stability – designated L4 and L5 – which lie approximately 60° ahead of and behind the larger body, respectively. Trojan points are two of five types of Lagrangian points, and a trojan is a type of Lagrangian object.
They are one type of co-orbital object. In this arrangement, the massive star and the smaller planet orbit about their common barycenter. A much smaller mass located at one of the Lagrangian points is subject to a combined gravitational force that acts through this barycenter. Hence the object can orbit around the barycenter with the same orbital period as the planet, and the arrangement can remain stable over time.
The Jupiter trojans account for most known trojans in the Solar System. They are divided into the Greek camp (L4) in front of and the Trojan camp (L5) trailing behind Jupiter in their orbit. More than 6,000 have been found so far and more than a million Jupiter trojans larger than one kilometer are thought to exist, whereas only a few Mars trojans (7) and Neptune trojans (13) have been found to date. Numerical calculations of the orbital dynamics involved indicate that Saturn and Uranus probably do not have any primordial trojans. The discovery of the first Earth trojan, 2010 TK7, was announced by NASA in 2011.

Astronomy
Astronomy, a natural science, is the study of celestial objects (such as stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets and nebulae) and processes (such as supernovae explosions, gamma ray bursts, and cosmic microwave background radiation), the physics, chemistry, and evolution of such objects and processes, and more generally all phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth. A related but distinct subject, physical cosmology, is concerned with studying the Universe as a whole.
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history, such as the Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Egyptians, Nubians, Iranians, Chinese, and Maya performed methodical observations of the night sky. However, the invention of the telescope was required before astronomy was able to develop into a modern science. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy and the making of calendars, but professional astronomy is nowadays often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics.

An asteroid is caught in a synchronized orbit with the Earth, dancing back and forth relative to our planet as both circle the sun, a team of Canadian scientists has discovered.
The object, which for now is dubbed 2010 TK7, is a "Trojan" asteroid, meaning that it is held in a delicate balance between a gravitational tug from the sun and an equal tug from the Earth.
It's long been known that Jupiter, Neptune and Mars have Trojans orbiting alongside them, but this is the first time one has been found alongside our planet.
"An image of dancers is helpful," said Paul Wiegert, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Western Ontario and an author of the study, published online Wednesday in the journal, Nature. "The Earth goes around the sun in a circle, and the asteroid dances in front of it, getting closer and farther away as it orbits."
TK7 is about 90 degrees from the Earth right now, and its distance from Earth ranges from 49.7 million miles to 12.4 million miles. The composition and surface characteristics of TK7 are unclear, though it is believed to be several hundred feet in diameter -- "on the largish side" for a near-Earth asteroid, Wiegert said.
Because it typically remains on the sunward side of the Earth, venturing only occasionally into the night sky, it has been difficult to detect until now. Trojan asteroids commonly dwell on the daylight sides of their planet. And its existence indicates that there are probably others, even less accessible by telescope.
"It is very hard to survey the entire area that could contain these objects," said Timothy Spahr, director of the NASA-funded Minor Planet Center at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory. "So when we find one object, it's likely that we didn't find the only one."
Trojans are found in areas called Lagrange triangular points, where the gravitational pull from the host planet and star -- in this case, Earth and the sun -- balance out. This Trojan was found at L4, which is 60 degrees ahead of the Earth.
It has been predicted for a while that such objects existed, said Spahr, who was not involved in the research. "I doubt that there's anything different about this than any other near-Earth asteroid, other than that it's locked in orbit around the Earth. But don't get me wrong, I think this is totally cool."
Scientists first glimpsed TK7 in October 2010 with NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. The team confirmed the object as a Trojan asteroid using optical images from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in April. Subsequent computer modeling indicates that it will "happily stay in its orbit for at least 10,000 years," Wiegert said.
The authors found the initial signs of the asteroid from a public data set. "I love to think of a data set being pored over like that," Spahr said.
Mike Brown, a planetary astronomer at California Institute of Technology, called the finding a "great technical achievement", but said it will be hard to understand where the asteroid came from and the implications it has for better understanding Earth and the solar system.
"The object is indisputably there," he said. "The only weakness is not a weakness of the study, it's of reality. We don't know what it means."
The Trojan could be a chunk left over from the event that caused the formation of the moon, he said. The prevailing theory is that the moon was formed when a Mars-sized body hit the Earth, flinging material outward.
"That could have blasted other pieces that got stuck in these Lagrangian points," he added. "But if I had to guess, I would say it's just a little asteroid that got temporarily trapped in that location, and if you came back in a million years, it would be gone."
The first Trojan asteroids were discovered around Jupiter, and named after ancient Greek and Trojan heroes: 588 Achilles, 659 Nestor, 911 Agamemnon and 1143 Odysseus are examples.
Such findings could tell us more about the risk of impacts from asteroids near Earth, Wiegert said: "This particular asteroid is one of the safest of asteroids that orbit in the vicinity of the Earth. It's not dangerous. But it tells us about asteroids that live near the Earth, and it tells us about the risks of impacts."
