In this paper we develop a semianalytical model to describe the long-term motion of Trojan asteroids located in tadpole orbits around the L 4 and L 5 jovian Lagrangian points. The dynamical model is based on the spatial elliptic three-body problem, including the main secular variations of Jupiter's
If a planetary-mass body were present in the asteroid belt, the orbits of the terrestrial planets and those of the giant planets would be more closely coupled. A greater exchange of angular momentum could affect the stability of the terrestrial planets. Moreover, the planet in the asteroid belt coul
