PournelleA couple of people asked about the Trojan Asteroids. The leading (l-4 point) Greeks: Achilles, Hector (the Trojan spy), Nestor, Agamemnon, Odysseus, Ajax, Diomedes. The trailing (l-5 ) group: Patroclus (the Greek spy), Priamus, Anaeas, Anchises, Troilus They do tend to wander a bit, and some are highly inclined (Troilus is 33.7 degrees), but they're all pretty well co-orbital with Jupiter (inclined 1.33). Eccentricities (relative to Sun) vary from .024 to .148; for comparison, Jupiter eccentricity is .048
