However, Vesta has certain features that limit it to planetesimal status, instead of Dwarf Planet.
Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea are the 4 largest that have been named within our solar system.
There are numerous asteroids, comets, meteors, and dwarf planets in our solar system. An example of each would be Vesta, Hailey's Comet, unnamed until in atmosphere, and Xena.

Planet Mathilde is at this time being the smallest discovered dwarf planet in our solar system. Other Dwarf planets are, Lutetia, Vesta, Ceres and yes and even Pluto. So time to change those solar system books for schools!
Olympus Mons is located on Mars; at about three times the height of Mount Everest it is considered the second tallest mountain in the Solar System. The central peak of crater Rheasilvia on Vesta is slightly taller.
Depending on what you view as an asteroid. The second largest non-Dwarf Planet KBO is 2007 OR 10 (this is a fairly newly discovered object and is based on some guesswork) falling just behind Sedna. The second largest non-Dwarf Planet in the main asteroid belt is Vesta which falls only slightly behind Pallas. However, Vesta has more mass.
"So far, the only generally accepted way of delivering water to the inner solar system is collision with water-rich asteroid or comets that originated from the outer solar system," says geochemist Marc Chaussidon. What this means, says Liu, is that water "likely exists on Jupiter and on other asteroids such as Vesta or Eros further within our solar system...
Vesta - formally known as 4 Vesta. It is an asteroid in the asteroid belt and was thought to be part of a protoplanet. (although the existence of any sort of planet existing, is under debate). It is the second largest object in the asteroid belt, after Ceres the dwarf planet [See related link].

Pallas, Vesta, and Davida are some of the largest asteroids in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. They are named after Roman goddesses and are notable for their irregular shapes and unique surface features. Studying these asteroids can provide insights into the early formation of the Solar System.
