The Color–magnitude Distribution of Small Jupiter Trojans
We present an analysis of survey observations targeting the leading L4 Jupiter Trojan cloud near opposition using the wide-field Suprime-Cam CCD camera on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. The survey covered about 38 deg of sky and imaged 147 fields spread across a wide region of the L4 cloud. Each field was imaged in both the g′ and the i′ band, allowing for the measurement of g − i color. We detect...
متن کاملDynamics of Jupiter Trojans during the 2:1 mean motion resonance crossing of Jupiter and Saturn
In the early phase of the Solar System evolution, while the outer planets migrated due to their interaction with a planetesimal disk, Jupiter may have crossed the 2:1 mean motion resonance with Saturn. It is well known (Morbidelli et al. 2005) that this dynamical event has profound consequences on the evolution of an alleged initial Trojan population of Jupiter. In this paper, we analyse in det...
متن کاملA Hypothesis for the Color Bimodality of Jupiter Trojans
One of the most enigmatic and hitherto unexplained properties of Jupiter Trojans is their bimodal color distribution. This bimodality is indicative of two sub-populations within the Trojans, which have distinct size distributions. In this paper, we present a simple, plausible hypothesis for the origin and evolution of the two Trojan color sub-populations. In the framework of dynamical instabili...
متن کاملConsiderations on the magnitude distributions of the Kuiper belt and of the Jupiter Trojans
By examining the absolute magnitude (H) distributions (hereafter HD) of the cold and hot populations in the Kuiper belt and of the Trojans of Jupiter, we find evidence that the Trojans have been captured from the outer part of the primordial trans-Neptunian planetesimal disk. We develop a sketch model of the HDs in the inner and outer parts of the disk that is consistent with the observed distr...
متن کاملThe growth of Jupiter and Saturn and the capture of Trojans
We have studied the capture of planetesimals in Trojan-type orbits by a growing proto-planet. The change of the gravity field due to the mass growth causes a significant fraction of planetesimals orbiting nearby to be trapped as Trojans of the proto-planet. After a planetesimal is captured on a Trojan-type orbit, the libration amplitude of its critical argument is consistently reduced by the fu...
