A Venus trojan is an asteroid that orbits the Sun in the vicinity of Venus. Trojans travel in Venus-Sun Lagrangian points , leading 60ð, or , trailing 60ð. is the only known trojan of Venus, and is located near Venus's Lagrangian point . While 524522 Zoozve is currently a quasi-satellite of Venus, it is expected to be ejected from that configuration and become a Venus trojan orbiting at Venus' point in about 500 years.
The only known temporary trojan of Venus is . It orbits Venus in a tadpole orbit around Venus's Lagrangian point . The asteroid was discovered in July 2013 by N. Primak, A. Schultz, T. Goggia and K. Chambers, observing for the Pan-STARRS project.
As of September 2014, the asteroid had been observed 21 times over a data-arc span of 26 days. It is classified as an Aten asteroid, and its semi-major axis is 0.7235 astronomical units (AU) closely matches that of Venus. However, it has a high eccentricity of 0.6115 and a low orbital inclination of 4.794ð. With an absolute magnitude of 24.1, its estimated diameter ranges between 40 and 100 meters, based on an assumed albedo range of 0.04 to 0.20.
In addition to being a Venus co-orbital, the asteroid is also a Mercury-crosser and Earth-crosser. shows resonant or near-resonant orbital behavior with Mercury, Venus, and Earth. Its short-term orbital behavior differs from the other three known Venus co-orbitals: , 524522 Zoozve, and .
According to a Minor Planet Center list, it does not list as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA), as it has only passed 0.077 AU from Earth on 21 June 2016.
