List of discovered minor planets

BATTeRS has discovered more than 400 minor planets during its course. As an anomaly, the survey is also credited with the discovery of (100501) 1996 XA19 at Kiso Observatory in 1996, or 4 years before the Bisei Spaceguard Center was constructed. Members of the program include Atsuo Asami, David J. Asher and Syuichi Nakano. Takeshi Urata was also a former member of BATTerS.
