A-type asteroids are relatively uncommon inner-belt asteroids that have a strong, broad 1 µm olivine feature and a very reddish spectrum shortwards of 0.7 µm. They are thought to come from the completely differentiated mantle of an asteroid. ListA-type asteroids are so rare that as of February 2019, only 17 had been discovered:[1] Designation | Class | Diam. | Refs | 246 Asporina | main-belt}} | 50.891 km}} | {{MPC|246}}{{·}}{{JPL|246}}}} | 289 Nenetta | main-belt}} | 37.586 km}} | {{MPC|289}}{{·}}{{JPL|289}}}} | 446 Aeternitas | main-belt}} | 53.562 km}} | {{MPC|446}}{{·}}{{JPL|446}}}} | 863 Benkoela | main-belt}} | 38.724 km}} | {{MPC|863}}{{·}}{{JPL|863}}}} | 1126 Otero | main-belt}} | 10.974 km}} | {{MPC|1126}}{{·}}{{JPL|1126}}}} | 1600 Vyssotsky | main-belt}} | 7.413 km}} | {{MPC|1600}}{{·}}{{JPL|1600}}}} | 1951 Lick | Mars-crossing}} | 5.57 km}} | {{MPC|1951}}{{·}}{{JPL|1951}}}} | 2234 Schmadel | main-belt}} | 9.473 km}} | {{MPC|2234}}{{·}}{{JPL|2234}}}} | 2423 Ibarruri | Mars-crossing}} | 4.899 km}} | {{MPC|2423}}{{·}}{{JPL|2423}}}} | 2501 Lohja | main-belt}} | 10.218 km}} | {{MPC|2501}}{{·}}{{JPL|2501}}}} | 2715 Mielikki | main-belt}} | 13.252 km}} | {{MPC|2715}}{{·}}{{JPL|2715}}}} | 2732 Witt | main-belt}} | 11.001 km}} | {{MPC|2732}}{{·}}{{JPL|2732}}}} | 3352 McAuliffe | Amor}} | 2.1 km}} | {{MPC|3352}}{{·}}{{JPL|3352}}}} | 4142 Dersu-Uzala | Mars-crossing}} | 7.1 km}} | {{MPC|4142}}{{·}}{{JPL|4142}}}} | 4713 Steel | main-belt}} | 6.286 km}} | {{MPC|4713}}{{·}}{{JPL|4713}}}} | 4982 Bartini | main-belt}} | 7.975 km}} | {{MPC|4982}}{{·}}{{JPL|4982}}}} | 5641 McCleese | Mars-crossing}} | 5.68 km}} | {{MPC|5641}}{{·}}{{JPL|5641}}}} | Diameter: averaged estimates only; may change over time |
