Scientific paper

We have used the ESO Schmidt telescope during the apparitions 1996, 1997 and 1998 to study the preceding Lagrangian cloud of Jupiter, L_4. In our observed field of view, about 700 square degrees, during 1996 we found 399 moving objects that we classified as Trojans. From this we conclude that down to absolute magnitude H<= 13.0 there are ~ 1100 Trojans in the L_4 cloud. Proper elements of 696 numbered and multiopposition Trojans were calculated and one of these in the L_5 cloud were found to be a non Trojan. A discussion of the Trojan proper elements is also presented.
