5027 Androgeos /ænˈdroʊdʒiəs/ is a large Jupiter trojan from the Greek camp, approximately 59 kilometers (37 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 21 January 1988, by American astronomer Carolyn Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California.[1] The dark D-type asteroid is one of the 70 largest Jupiter trojans and has a rotation period of 11.4 hours.[9] It was named after the warrior Androgeos from Greek mythology, who was killed by Aeneas.[1]
