We present BVRI photometric observations of several L4 Trojan asteroids and of asteroid 279 Thule (located at the 4:3 orbital resonance with Jupiter). Observations were made using the 0.9-meter SMARTS telescope on Cerro Tololo near La Serena, Chile in May and October 2003. In addition to determining the rotation period and lightcurve amplitude, we chose targets passing through very low phase angles in the hope of investigating the phase curves of Trojan asteroids. Previous work (French 1987) showed that L5 Trojans 1173 Anchises and 2674 Pandarus (P and D spectral classifications, respectively) showed little or no opposition effect. Our results will be compared with previous work by other authors.
