(706765) 2010 TK7
(706765) 2010 TK7 is a Trojan asteroid of the L4 Lagrangian point of Jupiter. Discovered in 2010 by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, it is a relatively large Jupiter Trojan, estimated to be several hundred meters in diameter.
Trojan asteroids are small bodies that share Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, situated at stable points (Lagrangian points) 60 degrees ahead (L4) and 60 degrees behind (L5) the planet. These points, due to the combined gravitational forces of the Sun and Jupiter, allow asteroids to remain in a stable orbit relative to both bodies. (706765) 2010 TK7 belongs to the "Greek camp," the designation for Trojans located at the L4 point.
The discovery and observation of (706765) 2010 TK7 contribute to the overall understanding of the population of Jupiter Trojans and their distribution within the Lagrangian points. Its orbital parameters and physical characteristics provide data for modelling the formation and evolution of the solar system.
