Physics

Scientific paper

The Trojan asteroids in 1:1 orbital resonance with Jupiter occupy a special place in the solar system's history. They could very likely be the primitive bodies left behind after the formation of Jupiter hence providing important clues to the physicochemical condition of the early solar nebula. Their surface colors, rotational states and configurations also carry key information on the dynamical and collisional evolution of small bodies in the outer solar system. A systematic survey of the colors and light curves of the medium-sized Trojans (up to a limiting R magnitude of 18.7) is being carried out in the commission phase of the Lulin One-Meter Telescope (LOT). In the first phase of our work, we put our focus on the objects in the vicinity of the L5 Lagrangian point. Preliminary results will be reported in this presentation.
