Anna (minor planet designation: 265 Anna) is a typical Main belt asteroid.
It was discovered by Johann Palisa on 25 February 1887 in Vienna and was probably named after Anny Weiss (née Kretschmar), the daughter-in-law of astronomer Edmund Weiss. [3]
Alkeste is a main-belt asteroid, and it is an S-type (silicaceous) in composition. C.H.F. Peters discovered the asteroid on August 23, 1872, from the observatory at Hamilton College, New York State. The name was chosen by Adelinde Weiss, wife of the astronomer Edmund Weiss, and refers to Alcestis, a woman in Greek mythology.
Abundantia is a stony main belt asteroid. It was discovered by Johann Palisa on 1 November 1875, from the Austrian Naval Observatory in Pula. The name was chosen by Edmund Weiss of the Vienna Observatory; although the name refers to Abundantia, a Roman goddess of luck, it was also chosen to celebrate the increasing numbers of asteroids that were being discovered in the 1870s.
229 Adelinda is a large, dark outer main-belt asteroid. It was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on August 22, 1882, in Vienna, and was named after Adelinda, the wife of fellow Austrian astronomer Edmund Weiss.
Prymno is a somewhat large Main belt asteroid. It is classified as a B-type asteroid and probably has a primitive composition not unlike common C-type carbonaceous asteroids.
Tirza is a fairly sizeable, very dark Main belt asteroid.

Sigune is a minor planet, specifically an asteroid orbiting primarily in the asteroid belt. Like 501 Urhixidur and 500 Selinur, it is named after a character in Friedrich Theodor Vischer's then-bestseller satirical novel Auch Einer.
Marion is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was discovered by Raymond Smith Dugan in February 1903, and was later named after a cousin of his. It is designated as a C-type asteroid with a size of approximately 104 kilometres (64.6 mi).
Laodica is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
Brixia is a relatively large minor planet, specifically an asteroid orbiting mostly in the asteroid belt that was discovered by American astronomer Raymond Smith Dugan on January 10, 1904. The name derives from Brixia, the ancient name of the Italian city of Brescia.
