Glauke is a stony, tumbling asteroid and slow rotator from the intermediate asteroid belt, approximately 32 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 20 February 1890, by Robert Luther at Düsseldorf-Bilk Observatory in Germany. It was the last of his asteroid discoveries. It is named after Creusa, a daughter of Creon, a king of Corinth in Greek mythology.
Agathe is a stony main belt asteroid, about 9 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Johann Palisa on 19 August 1882 at Vienna Observatory, Austria. Photometric observations during 2003 showed a rotation period of 6.48 ± 0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.27 ± 0.03 in magnitude. An earlier study yielded results that are consistent with these estimates. Agathe is the lowest numbered asteroid to have an Earth-MOID as low as 0.657 AU (98.3 million km). On 23 August 2029 the asteroid will be 0.659 AU (98.6 million km) from Earth.

Ada is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was discovered January 29, 1904, by American astronomer Raymond S. Dugan at Heidelberg, Germany and was named after his friend Ada Helme. CCD images collected during the fall of 2004 at Oakley Observatory in Terre Haute, Indiana, were used to generate a lightcurve for the object, showing a rotation period of 10.03 ± 0.01 hours.
Nassovia is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It is a member of the Koronis family of asteroids.
Pamina is a minor planet orbiting the Sun in the main belt. It is named for the heroine of Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute. This asteroid was discovered by M. Wolf in 1904 at the Heidelberg observatory in Germany. It is orbiting at a distance of 2.74 AU from the Sun, with an orbital eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.212 and a period of 4.53 yr. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 6.8° to the ecliptic.
Jetta is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It is estimated to be 24 km in diameter.

872 Holda is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
829 Academia is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. The asteroid is roughly 44 km in diameter and has a low albedo.
