what is the name of the largest asteroid it is approximately 1000 km in diameter?
ceres
it is sometimes assumed that ceres has been "re"classified as a dwarf planet, and that it is therefore no longer considered an asteroid. for example, a news update at space.com spoke of "pallas, the largest asteroid, and ceres, the dwarf planet formerly classified as an asteroid", whereas an iau question-and-answer posting states, "ceres is (or now we can say it was) the largest asteroid", though it then speaks of "other asteroids" crossing ceres' path and otherwise implies that ceres is still considered an asteroid. the minor planet center notes that such bodies may have dual designations. the 2006 iau decision that classified ceres as a dwarf planet never addressed whether it is or is not an asteroid. indeed, the iau has never defined the word 'asteroid' at all, having preferred the term 'minor planet' until 2006, and preferring the terms 'small solar system body' and 'dwarf planet' after 2006. lang (2011) comments "the [iau has] added a new designation to ceres, classifying it as a dwarf planet. ... by [its] definition, eris, haumea, makemake and pluto, as well as the largest asteroid, 1 ceres, are all dwarf planets", and describes it elsewhere as "the dwarf planet–asteroid 1 ceres". nasa continues to refer to ceres as an asteroid, as do various academic textbooks.
