135017

135017 is a numeric designation used in various cataloging systems. In astronomy, it is most commonly encountered as the designation of a minor planet.

In the system used by the Minor Planet Center, numbers are assigned to confirmed minor planets after a sufficient arc of observations has been collected. The object designated 135017 has progressed from its provisional designation to a permanent number, indicating its orbit is well established. The designation does not by itself imply a name; many such objects remain unnamed, though they may receive a name later if proposed and approved.

The data associated with 135017, including its orbital elements and estimated size, are published in astronomical databases and are subject to update as new observations refine measurements. The entry for a numbered minor planet typically includes epoch-based orbital parameters, absolute magnitude, and sometimes albedo estimates.

Outside astronomy, 135017 may appear as a serial, catalog, or registration number in other contexts. It serves as an identifier rather than a descriptor of any specific property. The exact meaning of the number can vary depending on the database or system in which it is used.
