This page lists designations for asteroids and trans-Neptunian objects with satellites, giving provisional designations, permanent numbers, and names for all components (primaries and satellites) and the dates these were assigned.

Columns are:

• number: permanent number of asteroid/TNO
• name: name of asteroid/TNO
• provisional designation: provisional designation
• dyn type and subtype: dynamical type and subtype, generally as reported by the MPC and JPL, as follows:
  • NEA = near Earth asteroid
    --subtypes: AMO = Amor, APO = Apollo, ATE = Aten, ATI = Atira
  • MaC = Mars crossing asteroid
    --subtypes: HUN = Hungaria family (dynamical), OMB = outer main belt
  • MB = main belt asteroid
    --subtypes: HUN = Hungaria family (dynamical), OMB = outer main belt
  • TJ = Jupiter Trojan asteroid
    --subtypes: L4 = L4 position/leading, L5 = L5 position/trailing
  • TNO = trans-Neptunian object
    --subtypes: CEN = centaur, CUB = cubewano, HAU = Haumea family, PLU = plutino, SDO = scattered disk object, 1:2 = 1:2 resonance object, 2:5 = 2:5 resonance object, 3:5 = 3:5 resonance object, 4:7 = 4:7 resonance object
• sat num: permanent number of satellite
• satellite name: name of satellite
• satellite designation: provisional designation of satellite
• primary date disc: date primary discovered
• primary date num: date permanent number assigned to primary
• primary date named: date name assigned to primary
• sat date disc: date satellite discovered (note: these dates are not authoritative; for discoveries by lightcurve observations stated date is the first of the series of observations enabling discovery)
• sat date reported: date satellite reported (usually in IAUCs or CBETs)
• sat date named: date name and number assigned to satellite
• sat disc method: satellite discovery method
  • AOT = adaptive optics telescope, HST = Hubble Space Telescope, IMG = imagery, other or unspecified, LC = lightcurve observations, OCC = occultation, RAD = radar observations, SC = spacecraft imagery
  
  note: designations/names indicated by brackets [] are unofficial ones used by the discoverer(s).
