The following is a partial list of minor planets, running from minor-planet number 5001 through 6000, inclusive. A detailed description of the table's columns and used data sources are given on the main page. The main index provides an overview of the entire minor-planet catalog. Also see the summary list of all named bodies in numerical and alphabetical order, as well as the corresponding naming citations for this number range. More details on the dynamical classification of minor planets can be found on the main page. New namings may only be added to this list after official publication, as the preannouncement of names is condemned by the Committee on Small Body Nomenclature. This article incorporates public domain material from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration document: "Small-Body Orbital Elements (ASCII Files)". Additional data files are provided by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center.
