Asteroiden kann man entdecken und dann kann der Entdecker einen Namesvorschlag beim Minor Planet Center der IAU einreichen.
Asteroiden entdecken
Mein Bruder Rainer Kracht, Jost Jahn, etc.
Dazu benötigt man mehrere Beobachtungen mit guten Koordinaten und Zeiten, sodass Bahnelemente ermittelt werden können.
Namen für Asteroiden
Nach einer bestätigten Entdeckung wird des Objekt numeriert; z.B. (499367) 2010 AB, was in einem elektronischen Zirkular “MPEC” veröffentlicht wird.
Der Entdecker kann dann einen Namensvorschlag machen.
Die Regeln der WGSBN (Working Group Small Body Nomenclature) sind folgende:
