Re: [meteorite-list] Named minor planets
Silly me, I did forget one more husband/wife asteroid pair (and not on your list, Ron). While you have Richardnorton, there is also 149243 Dorthynorton, sorry Dorthy! Also, since you have the two other authors, before there was the Tholin asteroid classification, there was a paper that created the three original asteroid classes: C, S, and M. The paper was by Clark Chapman, Dave Morrison, and Ben Zellner. You have 2409 Chapman and 2410 Morrison, but left out 2411 Zellner. Larry > > > There's nearly 300,000 numbered asteroids now.

Re: [meteorite-list] Named minor planets
I am aware of two pairings where a husband and wife both have asteroids named in their honor. In one case, the wife is on the list but the other is in astronomy (Richard should have known this): 118945 Rikhill 164215 Doloreshill and in the other case, the husband and the wife both have asteroids but due to their science education (the husband is on the list): 3439 Lebofsky 5052 Nancyruth Larry > There's another asteroid, that should be added to the list: > > (6371) Heinlein (after Dieter Heinlein) > > Best regards > > Dieter > German Firebal Network > www.dlr.de/feuerkugelnetz > > > - Original Message - > From: "Marco Langbroek" > To: "Meteorite List" > Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 11:08 AM > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Named minor planets > > >>> Any idea how many and who? >>> >>> >>> Chris Spratt >> >> To make a small start: >> >> (163800) Richardnorton (after O.

Re: [meteorite-list] Named minor planets
There are thousands of named asteroids. I'm not sure if anyone has complied a list yet, but it could be a rainy day task for someone who has the interest. If you go to the JPL Orbital Diagram page: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/orbits/ You can enter the name of a candidate. To find all of the objects with that name contained in it, add an asterisk before and after the name. For example, for Rob Matson's rock, I entered *matson* If you follow this example too, you'll see two objects, 2586 Matson (1980 LO) & 73491 Robmatson (2002 PO164). 73491 Robmatson is a more obvious result because of the exact name match, but reading the citations helps confirm its named for the person you think it is. If there is only a single object with this name, it's page will appear automatically. Still confirm that it is for the person you believe it is. Such list would be helpful to know who has been so honored, but would also be helpful in pointing out any that are worthy but so far are missing. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 - Original Message - From: Chris Spratt To: "meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com" Cc: Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 8:25 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Named minor planets Any idea how many and who?
