n*, σ, vT, and occultation rate r displayed as a function of time for all 7207 Trojan asteroids in the JPL Small-Body Database. Trojans are ordered by angle θjst between the Sun–Jupiter and Sun–Trojan vectors. The distribution of occultation rates in the bottom panel consists of the top three panels multiplied together, with an additional condition that regions with θset < 38° have occultation rates set to zero, where θset is the angle between the Earth–Sun and Earth–Trojan vectors.
