Abstract
In an earlier paper the authors have applied Labrouste's method to single orbital elements in order to isolate periodicities. However, in practice the investigation of two-dimensional vectors, where the components are combinations of orbital elements, can be useful. In the present paper we apply Labrouste's method to vectorial components of this type and represent the results by two-dimensional graphs. Examples refer to the Trojan case of asteroidal motion.
