Footprint of the SV observations, color-coded by number of visits. The ecliptic plane is indicated in red, and the Galactic plane is indicated in blue. The dashed red and blue lines represent ±10∘ ecliptic and Galactic latitude, respectively. The location of the L5 Neptune Trojan cloud (derived from the model used in J. Murtagh et al. 2026) is indicated by the shaded orange area, with the locations of the two new stable L5 Trojans indicated.
