| | Koronis family (of asteroids) |
 | | A Hirayama family of asteroids in the outer part of the main asteroid belt orbiting at mean distances of 2.82 to 2.95 AU from the Sun. |
| | Mainly of S-class (silicaceous), with similar colors and albedos, these objects are all believed to have originated in the breakup of a single, highly homogenous parent body, some 100 km in diameter. |
| | The family is named after (158) Koronis, the first member to be found, in 1876 by the German astronomer Victor Knorre (1840-1919). |
