Data Set Abstract |
We present data tables giving basic orbital and physical
parameters for well-observed or suspected binary/multiple minor
planets and the Pluto system, based on a literature review. In
total 173 companions in 165 systems are included. Listed data
include: minor planet number, name, and provisional designation,
dynamical type, and heliocentric semimajor axis and eccentricity;
primary and secondary diameter; primary spin period and albedo;
companion semimajor axis and orbital period; system mass and
density; secondary designation; discovery method and year of
announcement. This data set is complete for binary/multiple
components reported through 10 March 2009, with some additional
data through 4 May 2009. |
