Which ones are the correct names? -- Yaohua2000 04:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
A lot of the diameters listed in the tables look dubious to me; some are wrong by 1-2 orders of magnitude. To give just one example, 470430 is given a diameter of 24 km, which at the absolute magnitude (H=16.83) given by JPL [4] would require an albedo of 0.0006 (which is unphysical). Where do these diameters come from, who calculated the ones that aren't direct measurements, and who is going to correct the 700,000 entries that would need to be checked?
Also, why do the MPC links [5] on all of these entries (created with Template:M+J) lead to a blank page when I click on them using Firefox, but they work okay with Chrome? Renerpho ( talk) 22:07, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
