| Abstract: | Two asteroids 2001 QQ199 and 2004 AE9 and two comets P/LINEAR-Catalina and P/LINEAR are found to be quasi-satellites of Jupiter
at present time. The Tisserand parameters of these four bodies lie between 2.3 and 2.5, which means two asteroids might be
Jupiter family comets and will show a cometary’s activity in the near future. |
