Abstract:Orbits of potential Trojans of different planets in the solar system were selected from the MPC catalog on February, 2017. The evolution of those orbits was calculated. The bodies on librating orbits around the points L4 and L5 were determined. The quantities of real Trojans in the MPC catalog are as follows: Mars - 5, Jupiter - over 4500, Saturn - none, Uranus - 2, Neptune - 15. A reasoned explanation of such distribution of Trojans in the solar system is proposed.
