Excerpt: This is a list of Jupiter's Trojan asteroids that lie in the elongated, curved regions around the leading L4 Lagrangian point 60 ahead of Jupiter in the same orbit. All the asteroids at the leading L4 point have names corresponding to participants on the Greek side of the Trojan War, except for 624 Hektor, which was named before this naming convention was instituted. Correspondingly, 617 Patroclus is a Greek-named asteroid at the "Trojan" (L5) Lagrangian point. 624 Hektor is the largest Jupiter Trojan. It was discovered in 1907 by August Kopff. Hektor is a D-type asteroid, dark and reddish in colour. It lies in Jupiter's leading Lagrangian point, L4, called the 'Greek' node after one of the two sides in the legendary Trojan War. Hektor is named after the Trojan hero Hektor and is thus one of two trojan asteroids that is "misplaced" in the wrong camp (the other being 617 Patroclus in the Trojan node). Hektor is one of the most elongated bodies of its size in the Solar System, being 370 x 200 km. It is thought that Hektor might be a contact binary (two asteroids joined by gravitational attraction) like 216 Kleopatra. Hubble Space Telescope observations of Hektor in 1993 did not show an obvious bilobate shape because of a limited angular resolution. On 17 July 2006, the Keck-10m II telescope and its Laser guide star Adaptive Optics (AO) system indicated a bilobate shape for Hektor. Additionally, a 15-km moonlet at of Hektor was detected. The satellite's provisional designation is S/2006 (624) 1. Hektor is, so far, the only known binary trojan asteroid in the L4 point and the first trojan with a satellite companion. 617 Patroclus, another large trojan asteroid located in the L5, is composed of...
