The Arjuna asteroids are a dynamical group of asteroids in the Solar System. Arjunas are near-Earth objects whose orbits are very Earth-like in character, having low inclination, orbital periods close to one year, and low eccentricity. The group is named after Arjuna, a central hero in Hindu epic Mahabharata. The definition is somewhat vague and overlaps the definition of the four well-established Apollo, Amor, Aten and Atira groups. They constitute a dynamically cold group of small NEOs that experience repeated trappings in the 1:1 mean-motion resonance with the Earth.
