2009 SE is a small asteroid and Mars trojan orbiting near the L5 point of Mars (60 degrees behind Mars on its orbit).[2]

Discovery, orbit and physical properties

[edit]

2009 SE was first observed on 16 September 2009 by the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS).[3] Its orbit is characterized by low eccentricity (0.065), moderate inclination (20.6°) and a semi-major axis of 1.52 AU.[3] Upon discovery, it was classified as Mars-crosser by the Minor Planet Center. Its orbit is well determined as it is currently (as of November 2025) based on 60 observations with a data-arc span of 5,498 days.[1] 2009 SE has an absolute magnitude of 20.13 which gives a characteristic diameter of 400 m.[1]

Mars trojan and orbital evolution

[edit]

Recent calculations indicate that it is a stable L5 Mars trojan with a libration period of 1430 yr and an amplitude of 70°.[2] The libration amplitude is not similar to that of 5261 Eureka and related objects.[citation needed]
