Abstract Jupiter has nearly 8000 known co-orbital asteroids orbiting in the L4 and L5 Lagrange points called Jupiter Trojan asteroids. Aside from the greater number density of the L4 cloud, the two clouds are in many ways considered to be identical. Using sparse photometric data taken by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact …
