Шаблон:Mp, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a sub-kilometer asteroid and Mars trojan orbiting 60° behind the orbit of Mars near the Шаблон:L5.[1][2]

Discovery, orbit and physical properties

Шаблон:Mp was discovered on 1 February 2001 by the Spacewatch program, observing from Steward Observatory, Kitt Peak[3] and classified as Mars-crosser by the Minor Planet Center. Its orbit is characterized by low eccentricity (0.035), moderate inclination (24.4º) and a semi-major axis of 1.52 AU.[3] Its orbit is well determined as it is currently (March 2013) based on 45 observations with a data-arc span of 3,148 days.[4] It has an absolute magnitude of 19.7 which gives a characteristic diameter of 562 m.[4]

Mars trojan and orbital evolution

It was identified as Mars trojan by H. Scholl, F. Marzari and P. Tricarico in 2005 and its dynamical half-lifetime was found to be of the order of the age of the Solar System.[1] Recent calculations[2] confirm that it is indeed a stable Шаблон:L5 Mars trojan with a libration period of 1365 yr and an amplitude of 11°. These values as well as its short-term orbital evolution are very similar to those of 5261 Eureka.

Origin

Long-term numerical integrations show that its orbit is very stable on Gyr time-scales (1 Gyr = 1 billion years).[1][2] As in the case of Eureka, calculations in both directions of time (4.5 Gyr into the past and 4.5 Gyr into the future) indicate that Шаблон:Mp may be a primordial object, perhaps a survivor of the planetesimal population that formed in the terrestrial planets region early in the history of the Solar System.[2]
