Data Set Overview : The table lists orbital and physical properties for well-observed or suspected binary minor planets and Pluto/Charon, as inspired from Richardson & Walsh 2006 (Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci. 34, 47-81). The table columns are as follows: asteroid number; asteroid name; provisional designation; asteroid type (N : near-Earth asteroid, M : Main Belt asteroid, T : Jupiter Trojan, K : trans-neptunian object); semimajor axis of system with respect to Sun (in AU); eccentricity of system; diameter of primary (km); diameter of primary uncertainty (km); spin period of primary (h); spin period uncertainty (h); semimajor axis of binary (km); semimajor axis of binary uncertainty (km); diameter of secondary (km); diameter of secondary uncertainty (km); orbital period of binary (d); orbital period of binary uncertainty (d); system mass (kg); system mass uncertainty (kg); system density (g/cc); system density uncertainty (g/cc); and reference code(s). Dashes or invalid inputs (usually -9.99) indicate unassigned or unknown values. Reference codes (usually more than one per binary) refer to entries in the ancillary document which provides full citation information. Data are ordered by asteroid number, then provisional designation.

| ABSTRACT_TEXT |
We present a data table giving basic physical and orbital parameters for known binary minor planets in the Solar System (and Pluto/Charon) based on published literature. For the purposes of this table, a binary minor planet is any mutually orbiting pair of minor planets in our Solar System, where a minor planet is any substantial body orbiting the Sun that is not a major planet, nor is bound to a major planet.
