Abstract
► We model orbital evolution of Trojans and quasi-satellites during planetary migration. ► Secondary resonances from multiple planets influence the Trojans and quasi-satellites. ► Simulations show an exchange of objects between Trojan and quasi-satellite regions. ► Escaping quasi-satellites can undergo deep close-encounters with the host planet.
