		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.
		After a few such asteroids were discovered, the rule was established that the L4 point was the "Greek camp", while the L5 point was the "Trojan camp", though not before each camp had acquired a "spy" (624 Hektor in the Greek camp and 617 Patroclus in the Trojan camp).
		Hektor is one of the most elongated bodies of its size in the solar system, being 370 × 195 km.

	A Closer Look at Main-Belt Asteroids 1: WF/PC Images
		Values of up to 15% for “B” images of 216 Kleopatra and 624 Hektor (which were taken almost a year after the last instrument decontamination) were found by interpolation of Figure 46-10 of the Data Handbook.
		The effect of this bias is discussed further in the sections pertaining to asteroids 216 Kleopatra and 624 Hektor.
		For 216 and 624, two different filters were used and so Figure 8 shows the ratio of the average of the restorations of the “B” (F439W) and “V” (F555W) images for these two objects.

	systemic - i wish i had an evil twin
		Later in 1907, Kopff discovered a third co-orbital asteroid of Jupiter, this one near L4, which he named 624 Hektor, in honor of Achilles’ Trojan nemesis.
		Hektor and Patrocles, who were thus orbiting in the camps of their respective enemies, were given the unique status of spies.
		Even minor figures such as Hektor’s infant son (1871 Astyanax) are now attached to asteroids, and the Illiad’s roster is nearly completely exhausted.

	Terraforming Mars and Venus Using Machine Self-Replicating Systems (SRS)
		SRS seed would be sent to Hektor to replicate into a large factory able first to build thrusters adequate for moving Hektor to Jupiter, then later to break up the asteroid into shaped, autopiloted chunks to ensure maximum energy transfer to the Venusian atmosphere upon impact.
		SRS unit is dispatched to the Moon where in 18 years it replicates into a factory covering less than 2% of the lunar surface, able to manufacture the screens in seven more years and then to generate the launching energy to Venus orbit in ten years.
		If it is desired to save some of the nitrogen and carbon from the original atmosphere, biological concentrators might be released in the Venusian atmosphere prior to the arrival of Hektor to precipitate these elements on to the crust for later salvage.

		Wolf named the first known Trojan after Achilles, the hero of Homer's epic poem The Iliad, which depicts the Trojan War.

	Astronomical Research - Annual Report 2000 of The Vatican Observatory
		Such an irregular shape for such a large object would be unusual for a main belt asteroid.
		However, the largest Trojan, 624 Hektor, may be larger and even more irregular in shape, and the largest irregular moon (Hyperion) has a similar a/b with much larger dimensions (410 × 260 × 220 km).
		The B-V color of 0.77 ± 0.02 and a V-R color of 0.47 ± 0.01 place 1999 TD10 in the "gray" population of Centaurs and Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt Objects, comparable to the Trojan asteroids.

		The first one discovered was 588 Achilles but the largest is 624 Hektor.

	624 Hektor
		However, Hektor was observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1993, and it does not have the bilobated appearance of a contact binary.
		Hektor lies in Jupiter's leading Lagrangian point, L4, called the 'Greek' node after one of the two sides in the legendary Trojan War.

	2001 QG298 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The large light variation, relatively long double-peaked period and absence of rotational color change argue against explanations due to albedo markings or elongation due to high angular momentum.
		Instead, we suggest that 2001 QG298 may be a very close or contact binary similar in structure to what has been independently proposed for the Trojan asteroid 624 Hektor.
		If so, its rotational period would be twice the lightcurve period or 13.7744 +- 0.0004 hr.

		Trojan asteroids: The first confirmed double Trojan asteroid, (617) Patroclus, has components which are very similar in size.
		The second identified binary, (624) Hektor, has a primary which is a contact binary accompanied by a smaller secondary.
		Trans-Neptunian objects: With 28 binary TNOs, 1 triple TNO system, and the quadruple system of Pluto, among a total of 1,127 known TNOs, such binaries seem to be relatively common.
