Resumen:
Jupiter Trojan asteroids are located around the L4 and L5 Lagrangianpoints on relatively stable orbits, in 1 : 1 mean motion resonance withJupiter. However, not all of them lie in orbits that are stable over the ageof the Solar System. Unstable zones allow some Trojans to escape in timescales shorter than the Solar System age, what may contribute topopulate another small body populations. We study this process byperforming long-term numerical simulations of the observed Trojans,focusing on the trajectories of those that leave the resonance.
