    Janina (minor planet designation: 383 Janina) is a Themistian asteroid, approximately 46 kilometers (29 miles) in diameter. [2] It is spectral B-type and is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous chondritic material. [3]

    It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 29 January 1894 in Nice. [2] [4] The reference of the name is unknown, though it is the French name of Ioannina in Greece, as well as a common German woman's name, both of which probably descend from Johannes. [4]

    Aeolia is a typical main belt asteroid. It was discovered by the French astronomer Auguste Charlois on 1 December 1894 from Nice, and may have been named for the ancient land of Aeolis. The asteroid is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 2.74 AU with a period of 4.54 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.16. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 2.5° to the plane of the ecliptic. This is the largest member of the eponymously named Aeolia asteroid family, a small group of asteroids with similar orbits that have an estimated age of less than 100 million years.

It is orbiting at a distance of 3.05 AU with a period of 5.33 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.11. Between 2014 and 2021, 740 Cantabia has been observed to occult three stars.

    1825 Klare is a background asteroid from the central region of the asteroid belt, approximately 15 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 31 August 1954, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany. The asteroid was named after Heidelberg astronomer Gerhard Klare.

    9344 Klopstock, provisional designation 1991 RB4, is a background asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 12 September 1991, by German astronomers Freimut Börngen and Lutz Schmadel at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in Tautenburg, Germany. Poor observational data suggests that the asteroid is one of the darkest known objects with a diameter of approximately 17 kilometers (11 miles), while it is also an assumed stony asteroid with a much smaller diameter. It has a rotation period of 5.84 hours and was named after German poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock.
