4707 Khryses /ˈkraɪsiːz/ is a larger Jupiter trojan from the Trojan camp, approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 13 August 1988, by American astronomer Carolyn Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California.^[1] The assumed C-type asteroid has a rotation period 6.9 hours and likely an elongated shape.^[6] It was named after the Trojan priest Chryses (Khryseis) from Greek mythology.^[1]

Khryses is a Jupiter trojan in a 1:1 orbital resonance with Jupiter. It is located in the trailering Trojan camp at the Gas Giant's L₅ Lagrangian point, 60° behind its orbit (see Trojans in astronomy).^[3] It orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.6–5.8 AU once every 11 years and 10 months (4,322 days; semi-major axis of 5.19 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic.^[2] The body's observation arc begins with a precovery taken at Palomar in August 1953, or 35 years prior to its official discovery observation.^[1]

This minor planet was named after Trojan Chryses (Khryseis), a priest of Apollo. His daughter Chryseis (Khryseis) was abducted by Agamemnon during the Trojan War. Apollo then sent a plague sweeping through the Greek camp, forcing Agamemnon to give back the priest's daughter.^[1] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 28 April 1991 (M.P.C. 18144).^[8]

Khryses is an assumed, carbonaceous C-type asteroid.^[6] Most Jupiter trojans are D-types, with the remainder being mostly C- and P-type asteroids.^[6]
