Default Neptune 'dead zones' hold more rocks than asteroid belt

Neptune 'dead zones' hold more rocks than asteroid belt - space - 12
August 2010 - New Scientist
"The team estimates that 2008 LC18 is about 100 kilometres wide. Based
on the size of the region they studied, they suspect Neptune harbours as
many as 150 other Trojans of this size in the trailing Lagrangian
region. Together with the projected numbers in the planet's leading
Lagrangian zone, they suspect Neptune likely holds more asteroids of
this size than the solar system's main asteroid belt between Mars and
Jupiter."
