Notes: figures in brackets are derived based on various assumptions (may involve assumed albedoes, densities, or correspondence of observed separation to semimajor axis). See individual object pages for sources. Types include:

MB = main belt asteroid
MCA = Mars crossing asteroid
NEA = near-Earth asteroid
JTA = Jupiter Trojan asteroid
TNO = trans-Neptunian object
* = dwarf planet

Detection method for secondaries:

AOT = direct imaging, adaptive optics telescope
HST = direct imaging, Hubble Space Telescope
IMG = direct imaging, other ground based telescope
LC = photometric light curve
OCC = stellar occultation
R = radar
SP = direct imaging by space probe
