Dual-Status Objects

A small number of objects have "dual status", that is they have both minor planet and comet designations. The current list of such objects is given below. In all cases, astrometric observations of these objects should be reported under the minor planet designations.


Packed designations
Minor        Comet
Planet
02060        0095P    (2060) Chiron = 95P/Chiron
04015        0107P    (4015) Wilson-Harrington = 107P/Wilson-Harrington
07968        0133P    (7968) Elst-Pizarro = 133P/Elst-Pizarro
60558        0174P   (60558) Echeclus = 174P/Echeclus
B8401        0176P  (118401) LINEAR = 176P/LINEAR
