This is a list of [[Astronomy:Jupiter trojan|Jupiter trojan]]s that lie in the '''Trojan camp''', an elongated curved region around the trailing {{L5}} [[Astronomy:Lagrangian point|Lagrangian point]], 60° behind [[Astronomy:Jupiter|Jupiter]] in its orbit.

All the asteroids at the trailing {{L5}} point have names corresponding to participants on the Trojan side of the Trojan War, except for [[Astronomy:617 Patroclus|617 Patroclus]], which was named before this naming convention was instituted. Correspondingly, [[Astronomy:624 Hektor|624 Hektor]] is a Trojan-named asteroid at the "Greek" ({{L4}}) Lagrangian point. In 2018, at its 30th General Assembly in Vienna, the [[Organization:International Astronomical Union|International Astronomical Union]] amended this naming convention, allowing for Jupiter trojans with ''[[Astronomy:Absolute magnitude#Solar System bodies (H)|H]]'' larger than 12 (that is, a mean diameter smaller than approximately 22 kilometers, for an assumed albedo of 0.057) to be named after Olympic athletes, as the number of known Jupiter trojans, currently more than 10,000, far exceeds the number of available names of heroes from the Trojan War in [[Religion:Greek mythology|Greek mythology]].<ref name="MPEC" /><ref name="MPC-Jupiter-Trojans" /><ref name="h" />

Trojans in the Greek and Trojan camp are discovered mainly in turns, because they are separated by 120°, and for a period of time one group of trojans will be behind the Sun, and the other will be visible.

== Partial lists ==
{{As of|2023|12}}, there are 4714 known objects in the Trojan camp, of which 2471 are numbered and listed in the following partial lists:<ref name="MPC-Jupiter-Trojans" />

== Largest members ==
This is a list of the largest 100+ Jupiter trojans of both the Trojan and [[Astronomy:List of Jupiter trojans (Greek camp)|Greek camp]]s.
