Abstract
Numerical integrations have been performed for orbits of Venus', Earth
's and Mars' Trojan-asteroid test particles in a self consistent model
of the solar system to study the stability of inclined Trojan orbits.
In the case of Mars low inclination orbits tend to be unstable while
the contrary seems to apply to Venus and Earth, although the stability
of some very high inclination orbits may not be excluded on the basis
of these computations.
