NEW NAMES OF MINOR PLANETS

(4034) Vishnu = 1986 PADiscovered 1986 Aug. 2 by E. F. Helin at Palomar.Vishnu is the Hindu god of preservation. Name suggested by J. Meeus.

(4759) Aretta = 1978 VG10

Discovered 1978 Nov. 7 by E. F. Helin and S. J. Bus at Palomar.Aretta is the name of a school situated in the Norwegian town of Lillehammer.

This school was one of three winners of the Best School Teaching of Astronomycompetition held during the 2009 Year of Astronomy in Norway.

(4858) Vorobjov = 1985 UADiscovered 1985 Oct. 23 by J. Gibson at Palomar.Amateur astronomer Tomas Vorobjov (b. 1984) is an assiduous observer of minor

planets and a participant in the International Astronomical Search Collaboration. Hehas been responsible for verifying student asteroid discoveries and taking follow-upimages to complete the discovery process. Name suggested by S. Foglia.

(4984) Patrickmiller = 1978 VU10

Discovered 1978 Nov. 7 by E. F. Helin and S. J. Bus at Palomar.Patrick J. Miller (b. 1949), professor of mathematics at Hardin-Simmons Uni-

versity in Abilene, TX, is the founder and director of the International AstronomicalSearch Collaboration, an educational outreach program for high schools and colleges,provided at no cost to the participating schools. Name suggested by S. Foglia.

(5019) Erfjord = 1979 MS6

Discovered 1979 June 25 by E. F. Helin and S. J. Bus at Siding Spring.Erfjord is the name of a small school in a small village of the same name in

western Norway. This school was one of three winners of the Best School Teachingof Astronomy competition held during the 2009 Year of Astronomy in Norway.

(9408) Haseakira = 1995 BCDiscovered 1995 Jan. 20 by T. Kobayashi at Oizumi.Akira Hase (b. 1923) is professor emeritus at Hiroshima University. Based on

detailed geological research, he has clarified the stratigraphy and geological structureof the Paleozoic-Mesozoic group of southwest Japan. In addition, he has tutoredmany excellent earth science experts and teachers.

(10017) Jaotsungi = 1978 UP2

Discovered 1978 Oct. 30 by the Purple Mountain Observatory at Nanking.Jao Tsung-i, alias Xuantang (b. 1917), is a world renowned sinologist, painter

and calligrapher. He has lectured in well-known universities in Asia, Europe andNorth America, and has over 80 academic publications.

(11517) Esteracuna = 1991 EA4

Discovered 1991 Mar. 12 by H. Debehogne at the European SouthernObservatory.

Maria Ester Acuna Castillo (b. 1951) was a caretaker at the Manuel FosterObservatory for several decades. She assisted astronomers during observations withthe historical single-prism spectrograph mounted on a replica of the Lick Observatorytelescope on Cerro San Cristobal in the heart of Santiago de Chile.
