Minor Planet
According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a minor planet is an astronomical object in direct orbit around the Sun that is exclusively classified as neither a planet nor a comet. Before 2006, the IAU officially used the term ''minor planet'', but that year's meeting reclassified minor planets and comets into dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies (SSSBs).Press release, IAU 2006 General Assembly: Result of the IAU Resolution votes International Astronomical Union, August 24, 2006.

185638 Erwinschwab
185638 Erwinschwab, provisional designation , is a potentially sub-kilometer Nysian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 1 March 2008, by OAM-astronomers at the La Sagra Observatory in southern Spain. The asteroid is estimated to measure between 950 meters and 1.8 kilometers in diameter and was named after German astronomer Erwin Schwab in 2009. Orbit and classification ''Erwinschwab'' is a member of the Nysa family (), the main belt's largest asteroid family with nearly 20 thousand members. The family also known as the Nysa-Polana complex, consisting of several distinct subfamilies. The asteroid orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.0–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,342 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 3 ° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its first identification as by Spacewatch at Kitt Peak Observatory in October 1995, more than ...

Discoverers Of Asteroids
Discovery is the act of detecting something new, or something previously unrecognized as meaningful. With reference to sciences and academic disciplines, discovery is the observation of new phenomena, new actions, or new events and providing new reasoning to explain the knowledge gathered through such observations with previously acquired knowledge from abstract thought and everyday experiences. A discovery may sometimes be based on earlier discoveries, collaborations, or ideas. Some discoveries represent a radical breakthrough in knowledge or technology. New discoveries are acquired through various senses and are usually assimilated, merging with pre-existing knowledge and actions. Questioning is a major form of human thought and interpersonal communication, and plays a key role in discovery. Discoveries are often made due to questions. Some discoveries lead to the invention of objects, processes, or techniques. A discovery may sometimes be based on earlier discoveries, col ...

216433 Milianleo
216433 Milianleo, provisional designation , is an Aeolia asteroid from the central region of the asteroid belt, approximately in diameter. It was discovered 19 February 2009, by German amateur astronomer Erwin Schwab using a remote-controlled telescope at Tzec Maun Observatory in Mayhill, New Mexico, United States. The asteroid was named after the discoverer's son, Milian Leo Schwab. Orbit and classification ''Milianleo'' is an attributed member of the small Aeolia family (), a small asteroid family of less than 300 known members, named after its parent body and largest member, 396 Aeolia. It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.4–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,658 days; semi-major axis of 2.74 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 3 ° with respect to the ecliptic. It was first observed as at Lincoln Laboratory ETS in 2000, extending the body's observation arc by 9 years prior to its officia ...

Potentially Hazardous Object A potentially hazardous object (PHO) is a near-Earth object – either an asteroid or a comet – with an orbit that can make close approaches to the Earth and is large enough to cause significant regional damage in the event of impact. They are defined as having a minimum orbit intersection distance with Earth of less than and an absolute |
