9. Some Interrelations of Asteroids, Trojans and Satellites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The Trojans of Jupiter have the same magnitude-frequency distribution as the asteroids, but there is a puzzling asymmetry of the densities in Preceding and Following Lagrangian points. The outer satellites of Jupiter have a peculiar magnitude-frequency distribution, with large and also small ones missing; they therefore cannot be captured asteroids or Trojans unless during the capture a resisting medium was present out to ˜400 RJ for proto-Jupiter.
