What is the name for a band of asteroids?
Some asteroids are considered associated and are called "groups." Most asteroids are not part of groups but are in a "belt" positioned between Mars and Jupiter. Certain zones of gravitional equilibrium can capture asteroids. These zones are known as LaGrange Points. Jupiter, having the most powerful planetary gravity, has several groups at these points. Two of them, because the individual asteroids in them are named after heroes in the Trojan War, are known as "Trojan asteroids." One group is the "Trojan" group and another is the "Greek" group, even though there's an important Trojan in the Greeks and an important Greek with the Trojans.

What is so special about Trojan asteroids?
They orbit the Sun in the same path as Jupiter, and 60° ahead of or behind it. Yes. The Trojan asteroids orbit along the orbital path of Jupiter at points 60o ahead of and behind it. These regions are two of the "Lagrange points," named after the mathematician who discovered that such orbits could be stable
