Abstract

This lecture connects the properties of the giant planets to their diverse populations of moons and co-orbiting small bodies. It focuses on irregular satellites, whose inclined and elongated orbits suggest capture, and on Trojan objects that move around stable configurations associated with Jupiter or Neptune.
