Abstract
Up to now ∼ 400 asteroids are known which move close to the Lagrangian equilibrium points L 4 (246) and L 5 (167) of Jupiter. In this investigation the orbits of all known Trojans were integrated numerically for 10 million years using the Lie Series integrator with adaptive stepsize (Hanslmeier and Dvorak, 1984) in the dynamical model of the outer planetary system. The goal of the study was to extend the computation of the proper elements for all known Trojans for a longer time interval; the respective results are compared to already existing ones (e.g. Bien & Schubart, 1987; Milani, 1993).
