List of minor planets: 16001–17000
View on WikipediaThe following is a partial list of minor planets, running from minor-planet number 16001 through 17000, inclusive. The primary data for this and other partial lists is based on JPL's "Small-Body Orbital Elements"[1] and data available from the Minor Planet Center.[2][3] Critical list information is also provided by the MPC,[2][3] unless otherwise specified from Lowell Observatory.[4] A detailed description of the table's columns and additional sources are given on the main page including a complete list of every page in this series, and a statistical break-up on the dynamical classification of minor planets.
Also see the summary list of all named bodies in numerical and alphabetical order, and the corresponding naming citations for the number range of this particular list. New namings may only be added to this list after official publication, as the preannouncement of names is condemned by the Working Group for Small Bodies Nomenclature of the International Astronomical Union.

Numbering and Discovery Overview
The Minor Planet Center (MPC), operated under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union, manages the official designation and numbering of minor planets. Newly discovered objects initially receive provisional designations in the format of the discovery year, a letter indicating the half-month of observation, and a sequential number for that period (e.g., 1999 AA for the first asteroid observed in the first half of January 1999). Once an object's orbit is reliably determined—typically requiring observations spanning at least one opposition, or about one year—the MPC assigns a permanent sequential number based on the order of numbering, transitioning from provisional to numbered status such as 16001 for the first in this range.[6][7] Minor planets numbered 16001 to 17000, totaling exactly 1,000 objects, were predominantly discovered primarily in 1999, reflecting the rapid increase in survey capabilities at the turn of the millennium. These discoveries were facilitated by charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging on wide-field telescopes at key observatories, including Višnjan Observatory in Croatia, Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, USA, and the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) facility near Socorro, New Mexico, USA. The Višnjan Observatory alone contributed significantly to asteroid detections during this era through systematic surveys led by astronomers like Korado Korlević.[8] Key methods included automated near-Earth object surveys, notably the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) program, which operated from sites like Haleakala and Palomar using 1.2-meter telescopes to scan large sky areas and contributed over 1,500 preliminary designations of minor planets by the late 1990s. Contributions from amateur astronomers supplemented these efforts, submitting observations to the MPC for confirmation and orbit computation. As of 2025, approximately 20% of these minor planets have received official names, often honoring individuals, places, or concepts, following MPC guidelines.[9][10] Statistically, the average discovery date for this range falls in mid-1999, aligning with the peak of these survey activities. Over 90% are main-belt asteroids, with semi-major axes between 2.1 and 3.3 AU, consistent with the broader distribution of numbered minor planets where main-belt objects dominate.[11]Classification Systems
Minor planets numbered 16001–17000 are primarily classified based on their orbital elements, including semi-major axis (a), eccentricity (e), and inclination (i), as determined from observations archived in the JPL Small-Body Database and the Minor Planet Center (MPC) orbital elements database.[12] The majority reside in the main asteroid belt, defined by semi-major axes between approximately 2.1 and 3.3 AU, where orbital stability is maintained between the resonances with Mars and Jupiter.[13] Within this belt, they are further subdivided into inner (2.0–2.5 AU), middle (2.5–2.82 AU), and outer (>2.82 AU up to 3.3 AU) regions, reflecting variations in composition and dynamical influences such as the 3:1 Kirkwood gap at ~2.5 AU.[14] A smaller subset includes Jupiter Trojans, which librate around the L4 or L5 Lagrangian points with a ≈ 5.2 AU, e < 0.3, and i < 40°; for example, (16070) Charops resides in the L5 swarm with a = 5.159 AU, e = 0.125, and i = 16.2°.[15] Near-Earth objects (NEOs) in this range, such as (16064) Davidharvey, are classified as Amor types if their perihelion distance (q = a(1 − e)) falls between 1.017 and 1.3 AU, placing their orbits exterior to Earth's but interior to Mars'; this object has a = 2.85 AU, e = 0.59, yielding q ≈ 1.17 AU.[16][13] Centaurs (5.5 < a < 30 AU) and trans-Neptunian objects are rare in this low-numbered range, as their distant orbits typically result in later numbering. Physical classifications rely on spectroscopic surveys like the Tholen taxonomy (1984), which groups asteroids into 14 types based on visible/near-IR reflectance, and the later SMASS classification (Bus & Binzel, 2002), which refines these into 26 subtypes using principal component analysis of spectral slopes and features. In this range, common types include S-types (siliceous, representing ~17% of the main belt with moderate albedo and absorption features near 1 μm from silicates) and C-types (carbonaceous, ~75% of the belt, low albedo with flat spectra indicating primitive, volatile-rich compositions). Diameters, estimated from absolute magnitude (H) and albedo via D ≈ 1329 × 10^{−0.2H} / √p_v (where p_v is visual albedo), typically span 1–10 km for these numbered objects, assuming albedos of 0.05–0.3; lower-albedo C-types appear larger for the same H. Rotation periods, derived from lightcurve analysis, average 2–20 hours but include slow rotators (>100 hours) possibly due to binary configurations or non-principal axis rotation; binary systems, confirmed via mutual eclipses or radar, are present such as (16525) Shumarinaiko with a primary diameter of ~5 km and satellite-to-primary ratio of 0.20.[17] These classifications provide insights into solar system formation by distinguishing primitive bodies (e.g., C-types retaining original nebular materials) from differentiated ones (e.g., S-types showing heating and core-mantle structures from early impacts or radioactive decay). The diversity in this range—from volatile-rich outer-belt objects to processed inner-belt silicates—supports models of radial mixing during the Sun's protoplanetary disk phase and subsequent dynamical scattering by giant planets.[14]Notable Minor Planets
Orbital and Scientific Significance
Within the range of minor planets numbered 16001–17000, several objects exhibit unique orbital characteristics that contribute to our understanding of solar system dynamics, including Jupiter Trojans sharing co-orbital resonance with the planet and near-Earth objects (NEOs) with potential Earth-approaching trajectories. These bodies provide insights into early solar system formation, resonant stability, and planetary defense, as their orbits avoid or interact with major Kirkwood gaps influenced by Jupiter's gravitational perturbations. For instance, Jupiter Trojans in this range, such as (16070) Charops, librate around the L5 Lagrange point, demonstrating long-term dynamical stability that traces back to primordial planetesimals captured during giant planet migration. Similarly, Amor-class NEOs like (16064) Davidharvey highlight the risks and observational challenges of objects on the inner edge of Earth-approaching orbits.[18] (16070) Charops is a Jupiter Trojan in the L5 swarm, with a semimajor axis of 5.13 AU, eccentricity of 0.124, and inclination of 16.3° relative to the ecliptic, placing it in a stable 1:1 resonance with Jupiter that avoids depletion zones like the 3:1 Kirkwood gap.[19] Its diameter is about 64 km, with a low geometric albedo of 0.05, consistent with primitive D-type surfaces rich in organics and volatiles that preserve material from the outer solar system's planetesimal disk.[20] Studies of Charops emphasize its dynamical stability over billions of years, modeling it as a remnant of primordial planetesimals captured during the Nice model's planetary instability phase, offering clues to the initial mass and composition of Jupiter's feeding zone.[21] These properties underscore the Trojans' role in testing models of resonant capture and long-term orbital evolution under Jupiter's influence.[22] (16064) Davidharvey, classified as an Amor NEO, orbits with a semimajor axis of 2.85 AU, eccentricity of 0.59, and inclination of 4.5°, allowing perihelion approaches just outside Earth's orbit but with potential for future close encounters.[23] Estimated at 4.1 km in diameter, it features an unusually slow rotation period of 178.5 hours, classifying it as a tumbler possibly influenced by non-principal axis rotation, which complicates shape modeling from lightcurves.[24] This extended rotation enhances its suitability for ground-based radar observations, such as those from Arecibo or Goldstone, to refine its trajectory and assess low-probability impact risks, contributing to broader NEO characterization efforts for planetary defense.[25] (16543) Rosetta resides in the main asteroid belt. Named in honor of the ESA Rosetta mission, it is a carbonaceous asteroid linking main-belt objects to cometary science through shared spectral features indicative of aqueous alteration.[26] Photometric surveys of these minor planets have revealed irregular shapes and tumbling states, with lightcurve analyses providing constraints on their rotational dynamics and surface homogeneity; for example, Charops shows a rotation period of about 20.2 hours, informing models of collisional evolution in the Trojan clouds.[27] In planetary defense contexts, objects like Davidharvey underscore the need for radar astrometry to mitigate uncertainties in Earth-approaching orbits, where even small perturbations could elevate impact probabilities over centuries.[28] As of 2025, recent updates from Gaia's DR3 include spectrophotometric data on 478 Jupiter Trojans, confirming Charops' reddish slope in the 0.4–1 μm range consistent with D-type taxonomy and enhancing orbital refinements for stability assessments.[29] JWST observations of select high-albedo Trojans, including analogs to Charops, reveal 3 μm absorption features from hydrated silicates and organics, supporting their primordial origins and prompting proposals for dedicated flyby missions like NASA's Lucy to probe similar bodies.[30]Named for Cultural or Historical Figures
Within the numbered range of minor planets from 16001 to 17000, a significant portion have been officially named to honor cultural icons, historical milestones, scientists, educators, and landmarks, highlighting the intersection of astronomy and human heritage. These namings, proposed by discoverers and vetted for appropriateness, are approved by the International Astronomical Union's Working Group for Small Bodies Nomenclature (WGSBN), with rationales detailed in Minor Planet Circulars or WGSBN Bulletins published by the Minor Planet Center (MPC). As of 2025, approximately 30 such named objects exist in this range, drawn from global contributions across music, science, sports, education, and architecture.[5][31] A prominent example is (16155) Buddy, a main-belt asteroid approximately 7 km in diameter, discovered on January 3, 2000, at Reedy Creek Observatory by John Broughton. It honors American musician Charles Hardin Holley, known as Buddy Holly (1936–1959), a pioneering rock and roll singer-songwriter from Lubbock, Texas, whose career was tragically cut short in a plane crash at age 22; the name celebrates his enduring influence on popular music.[32] Similarly, (16260) Sputnik, an S-type main-belt asteroid about 5 km in diameter, was discovered on May 9, 2000, also by Broughton at Reedy Creek. The name commemorates the Sputnik series of Soviet artificial satellites, with the first launch on October 4, 1957, marking the dawn of the Space Age and igniting the international space race during the Cold War era.[33][34] In the realm of scientific luminaries, (16740) Kipthorne, a main-belt asteroid roughly 3 km in diameter, was discovered on May 22, 1996, at La Silla Observatory by Eric W. Elst. It is named for Kip S. Thorne (b. 1940), an American theoretical physicist renowned for his work in gravitational physics, including co-authoring the seminal textbook Gravitation (1973) with John Wheeler and Charles Misner; Thorne shared the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the first observation of gravitational waves.[35][36][37] Cultural figures from the arts are represented by (16703) Richardstrauss, discovered on March 2, 1995, at Kitt Peak National Observatory by the Spacewatch survey. This main-belt object pays tribute to Richard Georg Strauss (1864–1949), the influential German composer and conductor celebrated for operas such as Der Rosenkavalier (1911) and Salome (1905), as well as tone poems including Also sprach Zarathustra (1896) and Eine Alpensinfonie (1915), which exemplify late-Romantic musical innovation.[38][39] Sports personalities are acknowledged through (16046) Gregnorman, a main-belt asteroid discovered on May 5, 1999, by Broughton at Reedy Creek. The name recognizes Greg Norman (b. 1955), the Australian professional golfer nicknamed "The Great White Shark," who secured 91 professional victories, including two Open Championships (1986 and 1993), and is also noted for his business ventures in golf course design and deep-sea fishing.[40][41] These namings exhibit diverse patterns, blending tributes to scientists such as (16007) Kaasalainen, honoring Finnish planetary scientist Mikko Kaasalainen (b. 1965) for his expertise in orbital dynamics and minor-planet shape reconstruction via inverse problems; educators like (16319) Xiamenerzhong, named for Xiamen No. 2 Middle School in Fujian, China—an institution founded in 1870 that has nurtured thousands in fields including football, English, and music, as proposed by alumnus D.-h. Chen; and historical landmarks such as (16770) Angkor Wat, evoking the vast 12th-century Khmer temple complex in Cambodia, the world's largest religious monument and a UNESCO World Heritage site symbolizing ancient Southeast Asian architecture and cosmology.[42][43][44]Numerical Listings
16001–16100
The minor planets numbered 16001 to 16100 represent an early block of numbered asteroids primarily discovered during early 1999, with significant contributions from the Višnjan Observatory in Croatia and other sites. This range marks the beginning of a surge in discoveries from automated surveys and dedicated asteroid hunts, contributing to the rapid expansion of the known small-body population in the main asteroid belt. All objects in this block received permanent numbers by early 2000, reflecting efficient follow-up observations to secure their orbits. Predominantly classified as main-belt asteroids (S-type or C-type based on spectral data where available), they exhibit typical parameters for this population, including estimated diameters averaging 3–5 km, geometric albedos around 0.05–0.20, and rotation periods of 4–12 hours for those observed. Only about 5 have received official names, such as 16007 Kaasalainen, honoring Finnish astronomer Karri Kaasalainen for contributions to asteroid shape modeling. The first in the range, (16001), was discovered by Korlević on January 15, 1999, at Višnjan.[45][46] Detailed data for these objects are maintained in the JPL Small-Body Database and Minor Planet Center records, including provisional designations (typically from 1999 A-series and B-series), discovery circumstances, and physical parameters derived from infrared surveys like IRAS or NEOWISE. Orbital classes are determined via dynamical models, with most having semi-major axes between 2.1 and 3.3 AU. Below is a comprehensive table listing all 100 minor planets in this range, compiled from these sources.

16101–16200
The minor planets numbered 16101 to 16200 were mostly discovered between late 1999 and mid-2000, marking a transition to more efficient automated surveys conducted primarily in the United States. The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project at Socorro, New Mexico, played a key role in this era, utilizing CCD imaging to detect numerous objects, including an uptick in near-Earth objects (NEOs) for potential hazard assessment. These asteroids are chiefly inner main-belt objects, with semi-major axes of 2.1–2.5 AU, low eccentricities (0.1–0.25), and moderate inclinations (5–15°), placing them in stable orbits between Mars and Jupiter. Estimated diameters range from 2 to 7 km, derived from absolute magnitudes of H ≈ 13–15, assuming typical S-type albedos of 0.15–0.20. This block highlights emerging survey efficiencies, contrasting with the more labor-intensive discoveries in the 16001–16100 range, and precedes the greater orbital diversity (including more Trojans) seen in 16201–16300. Approximately three asteroids received permanent names, often honoring cultural or historical figures in line with IAU naming conventions. Notable among them is 16260 Sputnik, named for the pioneering Soviet satellite that launched the space age. Discoveries increasingly came from LINEAR's systematic scans, enabling the rapid numbering of hundreds of objects annually.| Number | Name/Provisional | Discovery Date | Site | Discoverer | Diameter (km) | Class |

16201–16300
The minor planets numbered 16201 to 16300 were largely discovered in late 1999 through diverse international efforts, with a marked increase in contributions from Asian observatories compared to prior blocks. The Beijing Schmidt CCD Asteroid Program (SCAP) at the Beijing Astronomical Observatory played a key role, utilizing a 60-cm Schmidt telescope for systematic CCD imaging that yielded hundreds of detections during this period.[48] These discoveries reflect the growing global collaboration in asteroid surveys, facilitated by improved imaging technologies and data-sharing via the Minor Planet Center.[49] Most objects in this range are main-belt asteroids (MBAs), particularly in the outer belt, with semi-major axes typically between 2.8 and 3.3 AU. A smaller subset includes Mars-crossers, whose eccentric orbits intersect Mars' path, posing interest for dynamical studies of near-planetary interactions. Diameters average around 4 km, estimated from albedo assumptions and absolute magnitudes in the H ~ 13–14 range, consistent with typical small MBAs observed in the late 1990s.[50] Institutional namings are prominent, with 2–4 objects honoring schools or research entities, underscoring the educational impact of these surveys. The following table presents representative examples from this block, highlighting discovery details and orbital characteristics:| Number | Name | Provisional Designation | Discovery Date | Discoverers | Observatory Location | Orbital Class | Diameter (km) |

16301–16400
The minor planets numbered 16301 to 16400 were largely discovered during the Palomar-Leiden survey in the 1960s, a collaborative effort between Palomar Observatory in California and Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands, led by C. J. van Houten, I. van Houten-Groeneveld, and T. Gehrels. This survey photographed the sky to identify faint asteroids, resulting in thousands of provisional designations like those prefixed "P-L," which were later assigned permanent numbers in early 2000 as additional observations refined their orbits. Some objects in this range, such as (16355) Buber, were discovered independently at other sites, including Tautenburg Observatory in 1975 by F. Börngen. These numbering assignments coincided with increased observational campaigns in early 2000, enhancing ephemeris accuracy for follow-up studies.[52][53][54] Most of these minor planets are classified as main-belt asteroids (MBA) in the middle region, with semi-major axes typically ranging from 2.5 to 2.8 AU, placing them between the inner and outer main belt populations. This positioning exposes them to moderate influences from Jupiter's resonances, contributing to a diverse dynamical environment. Spectral classifications within the range exhibit variety, including S-type (silicaceous) and C-type (carbonaceous) objects, consistent with the compositional gradient across the main belt; for instance, spectroscopic surveys have identified both primitive and differentiated materials in similar middle-belt asteroids.[47] Physical properties of these objects are characteristic of small main-belt asteroids, with estimated diameters generally between 1 and 6 km based on absolute magnitude and assumed albedos. Albedo measurements, derived from infrared observations, provide insights into surface compositions, though data for these small bodies are limited; the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) survey yielded albedos for select larger or brighter examples in comparable ranges, typically 0.05–0.20 for C- and S-types, respectively, indicating low-reflectivity carbonaceous surfaces alongside higher-reflectivity stony ones. Approximately 12 objects in this block have received permanent names, honoring figures in philosophy, science, and culture, such as (16355) Buber for the philosopher Martin Buber and (16397) Carlahayden for the Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden.[55][56]| Number | Name (if applicable) | Provisional Designation | Discovery Date | Discoverers | Discovery Site | Orbital Class | Estimated Diameter (km) | Spectral Type |

The minor planets numbered 16501 to 16600 are primarily main-belt asteroids discovered between 1990 and 2000, reflecting the increased efficiency of surveys like those at La Silla Observatory and Palomar Observatory during that period. These objects are typically S-type or C-type in spectral class, with estimated diameters averaging 3–6 km based on absolute magnitude data.[47] Rare orbital classes in this block include a few Mars-crossers, but no Jupiter Trojans are present; the majority follow semi-major axes of 2.2–3.3 AU. Survey improvements, such as automated plate scanning, contributed to the higher discovery rate in 2000, with over 50% of this block provisionally designated that year. Only three minor planets in this range have received permanent names, often honoring historical or educational figures, as per IAU conventions. For example, (16561) Rawls is named for philosopher John Rawls. Other examples include (16598) Brugmansia, named for the plant genus. These namings align with broader trends of honoring educators and scientists.

16801–16900
The minor planets numbered 16801 to 16900 were assigned their permanent numbers in late 2000 by the Minor Planet Center, based on orbital determinations from observations spanning the late 1990s. This block reflects the growing efficiency of systematic sky surveys in identifying small Solar System bodies, with significant contributions from institutional programs like the Catalina Sky Survey, which provided key follow-up observations for many objects in this range. Amateur astronomers also contributed to discoveries, underscoring the collaborative nature of minor planet research during this period. Approximately 3 asteroids in this range have received official names, while the vast majority remain numbered but unnamed, awaiting further study or naming proposals from discoverers.[49][73] Roughly 2% of these minor planets are classified as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), highlighting their relevance to planetary defense monitoring, though the majority reside in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Estimated diameters for these objects typically fall between 2 and 5 km, derived from their absolute visual magnitudes (around 13–15) and assumed geometric albedos of 0.05–0.15 for C-type and S-type asteroids, respectively; these sizes place them among the mid-sized population of the belt, unlikely to pose immediate threats but valuable for understanding collisional evolution. Survey data from Catalina emphasized the role of wide-field imaging in detecting faint objects, enabling the accumulation of astrometric data necessary for numbering.[50] Amateur roles were notable in supplementing professional surveys, with some discoveries made using backyard telescopes that provided initial detections later confirmed by larger facilities. For instance, (16801) Petřínpragensis, named for the historic Petřín hill in Prague overlooking the city's astronomical heritage, was discovered on September 23, 1997, by professional astronomer Petr Pravec at Ondřejov Observatory in the Czech Republic, exemplifying institutional precision in follow-up work. Other representative objects include those from LINEAR and Spacewatch surveys, which dominated discoveries in this numbering block due to their high-volume detection capabilities.[51]| Number | Provisional Designation | Discovery Date | Discoverer(s) | Primary Observatory | Orbit Class | Estimated Diameter (km) |
