In connection with the Hunt for Trojans (and Greeks) CMDR Orvidius has made one of his famous lists that include a subset of said co-orbiting planets.
The interesting thing is now, that he also discovered co-orbiting planets with a difference in the argument of periapsis of 120 degrees!!!
In principle this is possible. Planets at Lagrange points L4 and L5 are 120 degrees separated from each other. But that would require an "anchor"-planet in the middle.
However, there are planets in the ED galaxy that are 120 degrees much apart in the same orbit but WITHOUT an anchor-planet to which they belong.
These systems and planets are
Iockols EG-Y g5 planets 3 and 4
Phipoea BG-O e6-3301 planets 13 and 14
Dryoea Prue AA-A h8 planets AB 5 and AB 6
Prae Drye QE-F d12-24 planets 7 and 8
Thaile FG-G c13-12 planets 3 and 4
Dryao Aoscs HR-W e1-10126 planets 6 and 7
Scaulua AW-V e2-23 planets 7 and 8
Hypio Gree AA-A h100 planets 12 and 13
There are probably more but so far these are the only ones I found.
If any commanders are close to these systems, would they please check out what's going on there and post an Orrery picture here.
In the name of science!
