open-in-new
<p> The following is a partial <a href="/facts/List_of_minor_planets/hzpMh7gf">list of minor planets</a>, running from minor-planet number 5001 through 6000, inclusive. The primary data for this and other partial lists is based on <a href="/facts/JPL/zPXnxRBf">JPL</a>'s "Small-Body Orbital Elements" and data available from the <a href="/facts/Minor_Planet_Center/v8T7sdK4">Minor Planet Center</a>. <a href="/facts/Critical-list_minor_planet/KmPnkCgY">Critical list</a> information is also provided by the MPC, unless otherwise specified from <a href="/facts/Lowell_Observatory/BKJ1kgLx">Lowell Observatory</a>. A <a href="/facts/List_of_minor_planets/hzpMh7gf">detailed description</a> of the table's columns and additional sources are given on the main page including a complete <a href="/facts/List_of_minor_planets/hzpMh7gf">list of every page</a> in this series, and a <a href="/facts/List_of_minor_planets/hzpMh7gf">statistical break-up</a> on the <a href="/facts/List_of_minor_planets/hzpMh7gf">dynamical classification</a> of minor planets. </p><p>Also see the summary list of all named bodies in <a href="/facts/List_of_named_minor_planets_(numerical)/KA3u5Q1a">numerical</a> and <a href="/facts/List_of_named_minor_planets_(alphabetical)/Y8bkX4nq">alphabetical</a> order, and the corresponding <a href="/facts/Meanings_of_minor_planet_names%3a_5001%25E2%2580%25936000/nQhtSgsH">naming citations</a> 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 <a href="/facts/Working_Group_for_Small_Bodies_Nomenclature/pecagyQS">Working Group for Small Bodies Nomenclature</a> of the <a href="/facts/International_Astronomical_Union/GMFPImXo">International Astronomical Union</a>. </p> <table><tbody><tr><td> <a href="/facts/Near-Earth_object/UwnPRnSN">Near-Earth obj.</a> </td><td> <a href="/facts/Inner_Main-belt_Asteroid/YHAq2Eh3">MBA (inner)</a></td><td> <a href="/facts/Outer_Main-belt_Asteroid/YHAq2Eh3">MBA (outer)</a></td><td> <a href="/facts/Centaur_(small_Solar_System_body)/jXpnm7dv">Centaur</a></td></tr><tr><td> <a href="/facts/Mars-crosser/6wt6UtY4">Mars-crosser</a></td><td> <a href="/facts/Asteroid_belt/YHAq2Eh3">MBA (middle)</a> </td><td> <a href="/facts/Jupiter_trojan/KN9dgpUr">Jupiter trojan</a> </td><td> <a href="/facts/Trans-Neptunian_object/oF5vsbz9">Trans-Neptunian obj.</a></td></tr><tr><td> Unclassified</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>
