Etymology

Trojan + test. Where "Trojan" is an adjective referring to the Trojan points.

Meanings

1. A test of binarity. A test to determine if a two-body system is a primary and satellite, or a binary system. A test to determine if the L4 and L5 Trojan points (Lagrange points) are stable or not. If it is determined they are stable, the system is that of a primary and satellite. (where one component is at least 25x times more/less massive than the other) If the points are not stable, then the system is that of two components in a binary relationship. (where the two components have less than 25x the difference in mass with the other)

(where the two components have less than 25x the difference in mass with the other) ▸ The mass ratio of 1:25 or 25:1 diving line for the existence of stable Trojan points, marking the divide between binary systems and primary-satellite systems.
