Neptune Trojans are objects that share the orbit with theplanet Neptune and are in a neighborhood of the Lagrangian points L4and L5 located 60◦ ?front? and 60◦ ?behind? the planet in its orbit. So farthere have been only eight Neptune Trojans. However stability studiesindicate that this population should be large. In this work we reportnumerical simulations of the evolution of fictitious Neptune Trojans, todetect areas of stability and instability of the population and study theproduction of the escape of Trojans over the life of the Solar System.
