Trojan asteroids are
minor planets that share the orbit
of a planet about the Sun and librate around the L4 or L5 Lagrangian points
of stability. They are important because they carry information on early
Solar System formation, when collisions between
bodies were more frequent. Discovery and study
of terrestrial planet Trojans will help constrain models for the distribution
of bodies and interactions in the inner Solar System.
We present models that constrain optimal search areas, and strategies for survey telescopes to maximize the probability of detecting inner planet Trojans. We also consider implications for detection with respect to the Gaia satellite, and limitations of Gaia's observing geometry.
