BINARY MINOR PLANETS V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: July 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

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.
