Abstract

Abstract The Lucy mission will encounter five Jupiter Trojans during its mission with three of the five already known to be multiple systems. These include a near-equal-mass binary, a small and widely separated satellite, and one intermediate-size satellite system. This chapter reviews the current state of knowledge of Trojan asteroid satellites in the context of similar satellite systems in other small body populations. The prospects for the detection of additional satellites as well as other near-body phenomena are considered. The scientific utility of satellites makes their observation with Lucy an important scientific priority for the mission.

特洛伊小行星卫星，环和活动

“露西”号在执行任务期间将遇到5颗木星特洛伊行星，其中3颗是已知的多星系。其中包括一颗质量接近相等的双星，一颗小而分散的卫星，以及一个中等大小的卫星系统。本章回顾了特洛伊小行星卫星在其他小体种群中类似卫星系统背景下的知识现状。审议了探测更多卫星和其他近体现象的前景。卫星的科学用途使它们对露西的观测成为这次任务的重要科学优先事项。

期刊介绍： Space Science Reviews (SSRv) stands as an international journal dedicated to scientific space research, offering a contemporary synthesis across various branches of space exploration. Emphasizing scientific outcomes and instruments, SSRv spans astrophysics, physics of planetary systems, solar physics, and the physics of magnetospheres & interplanetary matter. Beyond Topical Collections and invited Review Articles, Space Science Reviews welcomes unsolicited Review Articles and Special Communications. The latter encompass papers related to a prior topical volume/collection, report-type papers, or timely contributions addressing a robust combination of space science and technology. These papers succinctly summarize both the science and technology aspects of instruments or missions in a single publication.
