614001

614001 is the designation of a minor planet in the solar system. It is a numbered minor planet, a class of small Solar System bodies that orbit the Sun and are given a permanent number once their orbits are well established. As of its designation, 614001 has not been given a formal name and is typically referred to by its number.

The number 614001 was assigned by the Minor Planet Center, the international authority that collects observational data about minor planets and assigns designations. The assignment follows a discovery process in which observations of the object over multiple oppositions establish a reliable orbit; after that, the object receives a permanent number.

Most numbered minor planets are classified as members of the main asteroid belt, though there are many objects in other populations such as near-Earth, Trojan, or trans-Neptunian populations. The precise orbital elements of 614001, such as its semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination, are stored in public databases maintained by the Minor Planet Center and JPL's Small-Body Database.

If a discoverer later proposes a name and it is approved by the International Astronomical Union, 614001 would also be known by that name. Otherwise it continues to be identified by the number, 614001, in scientific literature and databases.
