Scientific paper

Asteroid 3753 (1986 TO) has recently been found to be co-orbital with the Earth; more precisely, it is in 1:1 resonance on a "horseshoe" type orbit. Though horseshoe orbits are rare in themselves, this configuration is made even more unusual by the asteroid's relatively large heliocentric eccentricity (e=0.51) and inclination (i=20(deg) ). We discuss the nature of this asteroid's trajectory, the mechanisms by which it may have come to be in its current relationship with the Earth, and consider its long-term stability.
