Which asteroids travel before and behind the planet Jupiter?

The asteroids that travel in orbits that take them ahead of Jupiter are called "Trojan asteroids." They are located in two groups, known as the Greek camp and the Trojan camp, positioned along Jupiter's orbit around the sun. These asteroids have stable orbits because they are in gravitational equilibrium with Jupiter and the sun.
