Trojans are small celestial bodies which remains in an orbit of another body, either 60° ahead or behind the parent body, the L4 or L5 Lagrangian points. The most well known trojans are those of Jupiter. In the case of the Jupiter trojans, they are divided into the Greek camp (those at the L4 point, or ahead in Jupiter's orbit) or the Trojan camp (those at the L5 point or behind in Jupiter's orbit).
