Transient Co-orbitals of Venus: An Update

Abstract

Venus has no known satellites, but has four known co-orbitals: (322756) 2001 CK32, 2002 VE68, 2012 XE133, and 2013 ND15. Here, we present numerical evidence suggesting that 2015 WZ12 is a possible Venus co-orbital; it might have been until recently a transient Trojan. Follow-up observations of this target in the near future will be difficult, though.
