Scientific paper
The authors show that the formation of the Trojans and many of the other features (the total number and the difference in the Greek and Trojan populations, spectrophotometric properties, the similarity with the irregular satellites of Jupiter, etc.) can be explained from the same standpoint as the origin of the irregular satellites (Agafonova and Drobyshevski, 1984), that is based on the assumption of their beeing fragments from explosions of the electrolyzed ice envelopes of the Galilean satellites. It is shown that a velocity perturbation of 150 - 200 m s-1 resulting from a purely mechanical impact of two bodies may be sufficient to move collision fragments from the orbits of the Trojans to horseshoe-shaped trajectories with a subsequent transfer to the cometary orbits of Jupiter's family.
