Definition
The Hankel asymptotic coefficient polynomials $a_k(\nu)\in\mathbb{Q}[\nu]$ are $a_k(\nu)=\frac{1}{8^k k!}\prod_{j=1}^k(4\nu^2-(2j-1)^2)$ for $k\geq0$, with the empty product giving $a_0(\nu)=1$ [1].
Parameters
$k$
—   order of the asymptotic correction ($k\geq0$)
Formulas
(1)
$a_0(\nu)=1$, $\displaystyle a_{k+1}(\nu)=\frac{4\nu^2-(2k+1)^2}{8(k+1)}a_k(\nu)$ for $k\geq0$.
(2)
$\displaystyle K_\nu(z)\sim\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2z}}e^{-z}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{a_k(\nu)}{z^k}$ as $z\to+\infty$ with $\nu$ fixed, where $K_\nu$ is the modified Bessel function of the second kind [2].
(3)
$\deg a_k=2k$, $a_k(-\nu)=a_k(\nu)$, and the leading coefficient is $1/(2^k k!)$. For $k\geq1$, the roots are $\nu=\pm(j-\tfrac12)$ with $1\leq j\leq k$.
(4)
For integers $n,k\geq0$, $\displaystyle a_k(n+\tfrac12)=\frac{(n+k)!}{2^k k!(n-k)!}$ when $k\leq n$, and $a_k(n+\tfrac12)=0$ when $k>n$ [3].
(5)
$\displaystyle y_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n a_k(n+\tfrac12)x^k$ for $n\geq0$, where $y_n$ is the Bessel polynomial normalized by $y_0(x)=1$ and $y_1(x)=x+1$ [3].
Comments
(6)
The letter $v$ in the stored expressions denotes the Bessel order $\nu$. It is a change of variable name only.
(7)
The indeterminate $\nu$ denotes the Bessel order. In (2), $z$ tends to positive infinity with $\nu$ fixed, and the square root is positive. The coefficients are stored in $\nu$, without clearing denominators or absorbing the external signs or phase factors that occur in other Bessel expansions [1] [2].
(8)
Each coefficient polynomial is exact. The accuracy of a truncated expansion of $K_\nu(z)$ depends on $z$, $\nu$ and the truncation order.

Data properties
Entries are of type: rational polynomial
Table is complete: no (it holds every correction order $0\leq k\leq20$, retaining each full polynomial in $\nu$ through degree 40. This initial prefix covers successive fixed-order, large-argument corrections. The finite cutoff is an editorial choice that keeps the longest expanded entry at 1,213 characters and leaves the derivative and large-order coefficient families to separate tables)
How they were obtained:

All coefficients were computed exactly in $\mathbb{Q}[\nu]$. Independent interpolation in $\nu^2$ from the recurrence of Bessel polynomials reproduces all 21 polynomials.

The 21 half-integer nodes determine each even polynomial of degree at most 40; all 441 specializations also agree with the factorial formula in (4). The Bessel polynomials used in this reconstruction agree with the stored family through degree 20. The recurrence, degree, leading coefficient, evenness and all half-integer roots were checked throughout the range. Substitution into the modified Bessel differential equation [4], after removing $e^{-z}z^{-1/2}$, gives the expected truncated-series residual. The checks include known Bessel polynomials, interpolation of $1,t,t^2$ and deliberate coefficient corruption as controls.
