	Achilles: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Achilles
		Achilles was the son of Peleus, king of the Myrmidones in Thessaly, and the sea nymph Thetis.
		According to legend, Thetis had tried to make Achilles invincible by dipping him in the river Styx, but forgot to wet the heel she held him by, leaving him vulnerable so he could be killed by a blow to that heel.
		Achilles and Agamemnon argued and Achilles refused to fight any longer; Patroclus donned his armor and took his place and was killed by Hector (who also took Achilles' armor).

	588 Achilles
		As a baby, Achilles was dipped in the River Styx by his mother Thetis, which rendering his body invulnerable except for the heel by which she held him.
		Achilles is one of the Grecian group of Jupiter Trojans: it orbits in a Lagrangian point of Jupiter leading the planet as it orbits around the Sun.
		He has Achilles in the eleventh house of politics, sextile Pallas (politics, ideas), Pandora (making a splash), and Varuna (to be made huge; judgmental) and square Dolon (having to grit the teeth and endure) and Lilith (resigning oneself to something).

		As with Achilles, they are all named after heroes of the Trojan War and they are therefore collectively known as the Trojan asteroids.
		The Trojan asteroids are held captive by the gravity of both Jupiter and the Sun.
		They are found near two of the five Lagrangian points, named after the Italian-born French mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) who predicted their existence 134 years before the discovery of 588 Achilles.

	achilles
		In Greek mythology, Akhilleus Aiákidês (descendent of Aeacus), or plain Achilles (also transliterated as Achilleus, Akhilles, or Akhilleus) was the greatest warrior in the Trojan War, and the central character of Homer's Iliad.
		(See Achilles' tendon.) Homer, however, deliberately makes no mention of this; Achilles cannot be a hero if he is not at risk.
		He was very soon after killed by Paris - either by an arrow to the heel, or in an older version by a knife to the back while visiting Polyxena, a Trojan princess.

		I use a three body numerical integrator to test Gauss' results with modern observations, taking the orbital elements for Pallas and Jupiter from the 1997 Ephemerides of Minor Planets.
		The basic feature of exactly commensurate motion is that the two planets are able to exchange orbital energy to maintain the commensurability.

		Moon (formerly an asteroid and a starship) Achilles started life as a Trojan asteroid, called 588 Achilles (or 1906 TG), and was located at the Lagrangian point ahead of Jupiter.
		The asteroid was carefully hollowed out and converted into a starship (SS Achilles).
		The ship travelled 12.45 light-years, from Jupiter to Troy (DM-39 14192) in 199 years, carrying colonists in cryo-chambers.

	The Earth's secret companion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Lagrange showed that objects placed at these points were stable to small displacements provided the planet-Sun mass ratio was less than 0.04, and he predicted that Jupiter might harbour material at its leading and trailing points.
		It was not until the detection of 588 Achilles in 1906 that Lagrange's prediction was finally verified.
		There are now known to be several hundred such objects moving around Jupiter's triangular points, referred to as the Trojan asteroids.

		The object, asteroid 3753, is in orbit not around the Earth but in concert with it in a horseshoe-shaped trajectory that co-rotates with the Earth in its orbit around the sun; with respect to the sun, the trajectory is an eccentric ellipse somewhat inclined to the ecliptic plane.
		The discovery in 1906 of such an asteroid, 588 Achilles, near Jupiter, confirmed Joseph-Louis Lagrange's theory that planet-sun systems have points (now called Lagrangian points) where a third object of negligible mass could reside in stable equilibrium.
		Many such captive asteroids have been since found near our planetary neighbors, but only two of them, Janus and Epimetheus (companions of Saturn) have horseshoe orbits.

		Asteroids occupy the L4 and L5 positions on Jupiter's orbit.
		The first one discovered was 588 Achilles, so the custom arose of naming these asteroids after figures from the Trojan War.
		For this reason, objects travelling in an L4 or L5 position are often called Trojan.

	Lagrange
		The first of these was discovered by the German astronomer named Max Wolf in 1906, using a technique he pioneered: comparing two photographs taken on different night and seeing if any of the "stars" had moved.
		The first Trojan he discovered is called 588 Achilles, since it was the 588th asteroid to be discovered.
		In general, the Trojan asteroids at L4 are named after Greek soldiers in the Trojan war, like Achilles, Nestor, Agamemnon and Odysseus.

		For example, people have found over six hundred asteroids called "Trojans" at the stable Lagrange points of Jupiter's orbit around the sun.
		The first to be discovered was 588 Achilles, back in 1906 - the number here meaning that it was the 588th asteroid found.
		In general, the Trojans at L4 are named after Greek soldiers in the Trojan war, while those at L5 are named after actual Trojans - soldiers from the city of Troy!

		The fact that a point in space is stable against perturbation is not a guarantee that there is a physical object there in the first place.
		There was considerable excitement among the dynamical astronomy community when the first such object was discovered by Max Wolf in 1906, now known as minor planet (588) Achilles.
		Since then over 1500 such Trojans have been discovered.

		Trojan asteroids do not move in the plane of its orbit but rather in orbits inclined by up to 40° and at longitudes that differ by as much as 70° from the longitudes of the true Lagrangian points.)
		In 1906 Max Wolf discovered 588 Achilles near the Lagrangian point preceding Jupiter in its orbit.
		Within a year August Kopff had discovered two more: 617 Patroclus, located near the following Lagrangian point, and 624 Hector near the preceding Lagrangian point.

		L4 and L5 provide a stable balance, as long as the mass ratio between the two objects is larger than 24.960: if you move the spacecraft away slowly enough from such a point, then it will orbit around that point.
		In 1906, Max Wolf discovered asteroid 588 Achilles, which orbits the Sun in one of the stable Lagrange points of the Jupiter-Sun system.
		Since then, more asteroids have been discovered in L4 and L5 of the Jupiter-Sun system.
