Scientific paper

We show that many MBAs are presently in the 1:1 resonance ('co-orbitals') with dward planet Ceres and large MBA Vesta. They most likely represent a transient population; their dynamical evolution is similar to that of objects known to co-orbit with Earth and Venus. We discuss this population in terms of the longevity of co-orbital capture, its relation to encounters with the secondary and other massive asteroids and the existence of distant Quasi-Satellites of Ceres and Vesta.
