		The object, catalogued as 2001 QR322, is the first to be found in association with Neptune.
		2001 QR322 was found during a survey of the outer Solar System using telescopes in the US and Chile funded by the US space agency (Nasa).
		Astronomer Eugene Chiang said: "The orbit of 2001 QR322 is remarkably stable; projections of its trajectory into the future reveal that it can co-orbit with Neptune for at least billions of years.

	First Neptune Trojan Discovered
		2001 QR322 was discovered in the course of the Deep Ecliptic Survey, a NASA-funded survey of the outer solar system that uses the National Science Foundation's telescopes at Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, AZ, and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.
		The team first detected 2001 QR322 on August 21, 2001, in deep digital images taken with the 4-meter Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo by Marc Buie, Robert Millis, and Lawrence Wasserman of Lowell Observatory.
		"It is likely that 2001 QR322 is a dynamically pristine object whose orbital eccentricity and inclination have been largely unaltered by processes that afflicted the majority of bodies in the outer solar system," said Chiang.

	First Neptune Trojan discovered
		This small body, known as 2001 QR322, leads Neptune around its orbit in such a way as to maintain -- on average -- approximately equal distance from Neptune and the Sun.
		However, several subsequent observations, made with a variety of telescopes over the past 16 months, coupled with numerical orbit integrations of the trajectory of the asteroid, were required to prove that 2001 QR322 is indeed a Neptune Trojan.

	2001 QR322
		The newly discovered Neptune Trojan 2001 QR322 is on a low inclination, almost circular orbit.
		The orbit of 2001 QR322 is close to the edge of this region and may then be primordial.
		However, the present uncertainties in the orbit of 2001 QR322 and the sharp profile of the resonance do not allow strong statements on the influence of this resonance on the real orbit of the Neptune Trojan.

	Introduction
		Exploring the long term stability of 2001 QR322 and of similar bodies, that could be detected in the future around the Lagrangian points of Neptune, is the first step towards a deeper understanding of the origin of Trojan-type bodies, and of the formation of their parent planets.
		2001 QR322 could be the first member of a consistent primordial population of Neptune Trojans.
		The same authors in their paper were urging observes to search for Neptune Trojans due to their stability properties in advance of the discovery of 2001 QR322.

	Long-term evolution of the Neptune Trojan QR322 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		A second set of sixteen bodies has a random error in semi-major axis of 1e-4 and a third set of thirty-two bodies has a systematic change in mean motion in the interval (0.999 n_0, 1.001 n_0) with n_0 the observed mean motion of 2001 QR322.
		It is found that QR322 is subject to one secular resonance, the \nu_18 resonance, and four near secular resonances; the latter play only a minor role in its evolution.
		The shortest observed Lyapunov time for QR322 and its clones is about 1.5 Myr, similar to the regression frequency of the node of Neptune.

	First Neptune Trojan Discovered
		Additional measurements mapping the motion of the newly discovered object over the next year were needed to prove that this small body, called 2001 QR322, is indeed behaving as a Trojan.
		Calculations by team member Eugene Chiang of UC Berkeley indicate that 2001 QR322 likely formed in its current orbital lock with Neptune during the early days of the Solar System and, barring collision or close encounter with some unknown object, will continue to librate near Neptune for billions of years.
		Perhaps more important than either of these, however, is that the discovery of 2001 QR322, like the discovery of the Kuiper Belt Objects in 1992, shows us there are whole new classes of objects waiting to be found in the region of Neptune and beyond.

		Asteroid 2001 QR322 turned up serendipitously in a telescopic survey conducted three years ago by Chiang.
		It is the first known member of Neptune's "Trojan" asteroid population, named after a similar family of captured asteroids that tag along in front of and behind Jupiter as it orbits the sun.
		His computer models show that it is almost impossible for Neptune to capture asteroids because the planet is only half the size of Jupiter and so possesses a much weaker gravitational field.

	Neptune
		The planet's brightness in near-infrared wavelengths is much more sensitive to high altitude clouds than to visible light, and so the recent trend of increasing cloud activity was also seen in near-infrared light as well in Keck Telescope observations made from July 2000 to June 2001, by a team of astronomers including Heidi B.
		Catalogued as 2001 QR322, the object was the first "Trojans" asteroid to be found in association with Neptune.
		Three more Neptunian Trojans were discovered by June 15, 2006 (more information from the press release and orbital characteristics from the IAU).

		By the late summer of 2000, NEAR's observations had made it clear that Eros was not a "flying rubble pile", instead consisting of a single piece of undifferentiated rock that seemed to date back to the origins of the solar system.
		NEAR continued to orbit Eros until 12 February 2001, when mission controllers managed to ease the spacecraft down to a "soft landing" on the asteroid.
		Although the mission was supposed to end after this stunt, very much against predictions the probe was still working, and the mission was extended for ten days to permit close-up measurements with the probe's X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometer instruments.

		Astronomers have discovered a new object which shares a very similar orbit with Neptune.
		Part of a classification of objects called Trojans, 2001 QR322 is 230 km across and requires 166 years to orbit the Sun.
		Although clusters of Trojans have been found following Jupiter's orbit, none have ever been found to share an orbit with any other giant planet; although, they've been predicted for years.
