Dictionary of Minor Planet Names – Addendum

On 2008 September 5, the Rosetta control room at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre, ESOC, received ˇ the first radio signal after closest approach to asteroid (2867) Steins at 22:14 CEST, confirming a smooth fly-by. Closest approach took place at 20:58 CEST ground time, 20:38 CEST spacecraft time, at a distance of 803km. ˇ Rosetta’s relative speed with respect to (2867) Steins was 8.6km/sec, or about 31,000km/h. The size can be described by an ellipsoid with axes of 6.7 × 5.8 × 4.5[km]. The largest crater near the south pole c ESA 2008 MPS for OSIRIS Team has a diameter of approx. 2km. The resolution amounts to about 160m. ( MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/RSSD/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA, courtesy H. Uwe Keller)

Preface The history and rapid development of minor planet discoveries constitute a fascinating story and one with a rather breathtaking evolution. By October 2005, the total of numbered planets exceeded the remarkable cornerstone of 100,000 objects and only three years later in November 2008 we are even faced with minor planet (200000). This dramatic evolution must be compared with the huge time span of two centuries (1801–2000) that was necessary to detect and to refine the orbits of only the first 20,000 minor planets. Nowadays, we need even less than 13 months for the same quantity! At the end of 2005, we had achieved a total of 12,804 named minor planets - a fraction of less than 11 per cent of all numbered minor planets. This figure now approximately decreased to only 7 per cent in comparison to 79 per cent in 1991. The fifth edition and the first addendum 2003-2005 serves as the basic survey, which is now updated and enlarged by this second addendum. It contains all newly published names from the period 2006 until February 2009 as well as corrections and amendments of all earlier editions. There are now 207,942 numbered minor planets and only 15,054 are named! The fundamental structure the Dictionary has been left unchanged. As a new feature of the addenda, we added rough data of the orbital elements [a,e,i] for quick classification purposes.

Heidelberg, April 2009

In addition to citing the bibliographic source of the naming, we also provide the source of numbering. A special concordance list will enable the evaluation of the respective publication dates. The complete work is, of course, a thoroughly revised and considerably enlarged data collection and every effort has been made to check and correct each single piece of information again. For even more detailed information on the discovery circumstances of numbered but unnamed planets, the reader is referred to the extensive data files compiled by the Minor Planet Center. According to a resolution of IAU Division III (2000, Manchester IAU General Assembly) DMPN attained the status of an official IAU publication. The kind assistance by IAU General Secretaries Hans Rickman, Oddbjørn Engvold and Karel A. van der Hucht during the last decade is highly appreciated. I owe a great debt of gratitude to Brian G. Marsden for his everlasting support of this common project of all interested astronomers. The Klaus Tschira Foundation made the publication of this second addendum possible by a considerable contribution. My gratitude is also due to Ramon Khanna from Springer-Verlag for his cooperation. Finally, I would like to thank again my colleague Gernot Burkhardt for his indefatigable support with the data crunching and the extensive TEX processing.

Foreword to the Fifth Edition

People love to name things. Parents name their children. Children name their pets. Why? Otherwise rational human beings put an inordinate effort into this naming activity. Some names are selected to remind the namer of some other person, place or event. In other instances, the choice of a name means something that “sounds good”, or is easily spelled. “What’s the baby’s name?” is much more likely to be asked than some question about its state of health, its weight or the color of its eyes. People are often named according to religious tradition, exemplified in the custom, in some countries, of speaking of a “Christian” name. In other countries, it is a “given” name, often the name of some favored relative, particularly a father, as in the system of patronymics. In some parts of the world a name may be more practical, making it clear that this person is “number one son”, for example. But in such a case, why not simply give numbers to the children in order of their birth? One might presume that other animals number their children: take one away, and the mother will realize that the count is wrong, possibly even to the point of knowing precisely which infant has been removed. The most basic part of speech is a “noun”, a word that itself means “name”, particularly in its dominant use as the subject, i.e., in the “nominative case”. Communication is essential to an intelligent species, and the human race simply would not have advanced if it didn’t have, in its numerous languages, generic words for “tree”, “bird”, “food”, “rock”, “star” and “computer”. One clearly also needs to be specific, introducing further nouns in each of these categories, such as “apple”, “kookaburra”, “apple”, “punk”, “quasar” and “apple”. But where does that specificity end? Should every individual member of a species, type or class end up with an obscure number or alphanumeric designation? Or should it have a name or descriptor like “The One that Fell Down in the Hurricane Last Week”, “The Very Noisy One that Somehow Found its Way into Our Barbecue”, “The 10-Meter Cake”, “Hope Diamond”, “Arcturus” and, well, “Arcturus”. Astronomers named stars – and groupings of stars – long ago. There were truly imaginative names for Arcturus that translate into English as phrases like “Leg of the Lance Bearer”, “Patriarch Mentor of the Train”

(or,

in the original Arabic, “Al Harris al Simak”). Nowadays, stars are named, for a fee, and with no obvious benefit to astronomy, by “The International Star Registry” (ISR). After their children have left the roost, and their children’s pets have been buried ’neath the apple tree, ordinary people with money to burn can still name stars. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) takes a dim view of the ISR, and the ISR takes advantage of human irrationality. Astronomers, trained to cultivate at least an air of rationality, nowadays give to the objects of their quests more useful labels like “Alpha Bootis”, PPM 130442, BD +19◦ 2777, PSR 1257-12 B and GRO J1744-28. But in the solar system, names still – so to speak – have a place. Galileo knew what he was about when he referred to the “Medician Stars”, as did Herschel with “Georgium Sidus”. A broader, more traditional view won out, however, and Piazzi’s “Ferdinandea” appendix was soon dropped from his choice of a name for the small planet he discovered between Mars and Jupiter. But when it was established that Ceres was not alone, the practice of acknowledging each new discovery with the name of a goddess somehow seemed appropriate and international – at least for discoveries made in different parts of Europe and with the goddess names from the “classical” tradition. But nationalist squabbles quickly arose, and soon the supply of names of classical goddesses was exhausted. Other traditions were tapped, more general female names were used, and the discoverers started concocting feminizations of other names and words. At the same time, the objects were simply given sequential numbers. The advent of photography also brought systems of provisional designations, the use of which greatly facilitated the bookkeeping of linking together independent discoveries of the same object, which could then receive a sequential number. And still the minor planets also received names. In a few cases, the names were inspired mnemonically by the provisional designations; and in a few other cases, particular classes of names were applied to members of particular dynamical classes of minor planets. One could say that such names were helpful. Even when there was no obvious connection, to have both a name and a number could provide some useful redundancy when typographical errors occurred. From time to time, a few astronomers

Foreword to the Fifth Edition would deprecate the naming practice, but it prevailed, with the various monikers proposed by the discoverers being adopted essentially automatically. Perhaps unlike their colleagues in the star and galaxy businesses, planetary astronomers do evidently cultivate that air of irrationality common to the general population. Which are my own particular favorites among the names of minor planets? Certainly, I like the ones where there is some particular “connection” between planet and name. Some discoverers have their lists of numberings and the lists of the names they want to use. As each new numbering comes along, they simply apply the next name on the list, whatever interesting characteristics the object may have. Most proposers of names could usefully learn from Paul Wild, veteran Swiss discoverer of minor planets: he gave to the minor planet with provisional designation 1968 HB the name “Swissair”, HB being the international designator for that airline (now defunct); and the WK in another provisional designation reminded him of the Swiss-German word for annual military exercises, a grueling maneuver through the Alps and – “Hannibal”. He gave the name “Cucula” to a rare discovery in May, the month when the cuckoos call incessantly in the woods near his observatory; and the name “Tripaxeptalis” went to minor planet (2037), because 2037 = 3×679 = 7×291 – and given (679) Pax and (291) Alice. If one wants to name a minor planet for the twelfth-century mathematician Fibonacci, the least he can do is ensure that its number is a number in the Fibonacci sequence: so this name was therefore given recently to minor planet (6765). When the Minor Planet Center was established in 1947, the numbering of minor planets extended to (1564). At a meeting of IAU Commission 20 in 1952 it was remarked that to reach (3000) would represent a “reasonable upper limit”. When (3000) was finally reached, in 1984, that remark had clearly been forgotten, and further doubling could be expected in about a decade. When the first edition of the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names was prepared, in late 1991, (5000) had just been numbered. It was then a foregone conclusion that (10000) would be reached around the end of the century. That milestone was in fact reached as early as March 1999, a little more than 198 years after Piazzi first sighted Ceres. Although the suggestion had been made that the number (10000) should be accorded to Pluto, as the first member of the transneptunian belt bearing some affinity to (1) Ceres as the first member of the cisjovian belt, objections were raised, and (10000) was instead named “Myriostos”, Greek for ten-thousandth. The first member of the transneptunian belt to be numbered was therefore 1992 QB1 (the first of the more recent transneptunian discoveries) as (15760), but it has not yet been named. And although there were predictions that (20000) would not come along until 2004,

this number was in fact assigned already at the beginning of 2001 – to the then second-largest independent object in the transneptunian belt, 2000 WR106 , named Varuna. Since then the doubling period has shortened to less than 18 months, with the latest second-place transneptunian object, 2002 LM60 , becoming (50000) Quaoar late in 2002. Anticipating the surge of activity that began in the late 1970s, with many more professional and amateur astronomers entering the field, some members of Commission 20 felt that oversight of the names being proposed was desirable. So a committee of three was formed... It grew to a committee of seven, and in 1994 it became the nine-member Small Bodies Names Committee, also taking on the responsibility for naming comets. In 1997 the membership increased to 11, and the Committee was directly attached to IAU Division III, in which Commission 20 was one of six IAU commissions. In 2000 the committee’s name was inverted to Committee on Small Bodies Nomenclature, and the membership was increased to 13. Those discoverers whose pet names have been rejected might not agree, but the SBNC has good international representation and has generally acted in a fair and effective manner. The main difficulties arise with names considered “too nearly similar” to others, although a precise definition of what is meant by this has so far been elusive. Quite as impressive as the numbering rate has been the progression of provisional designations. The modern system of these designations was introduced in 1925 with the idea that a simple sequence of letters could be used each halfmonth, it being considered unlikely that there would be more than 25 new discoveries in any such interval. The first complement of 25 was already achieved in the second half of April 1926 with the assignment of 1926 GZ (the letters I and J being considered the same). Then, in the second half of February 1928 (well, it was a leap year), a 26th discovery was accommodated in the form 1928 DA1 and a 30th as 1928 DE1 . (The utility of the system is that further designations can be added at any time, and these two halfmonths currently terminate with 1926 GF1 and 1928 DK1 .) The 58 designations of the first half of October 1931, extending to 1931 TH2 , remained a special accomplishment for a long time, particularly when the examination of plates obtained in the continuation of the Pluto search at the Lowell Observatory a few years later took this sequence to 1931 TJ4 ; at present, it runs to 1931 TR4 , not superseded until 1950 TU4 . The next record was 1969 TG8 , and double digits were reached for the first time three years later with what now stands at 1972 TE11 , i.e., a total of 280 discoveries. Of course, these advances are quite artificial, because 1972 also saw the publication of the Palomar-Leiden survey; the latter did not in fact utilize the system of provisional designations, but had it done so, there would have been designations extending to something like 1960 SR83 – a total of 2092 objects not surpassed until the second

half of March 1993, when the designations reached 1993 FR84 . That record remained only until 1998, when the subscripts first reached three digits, new peaks of 1998 FN149 , 1998 HC158 and 1998 SM171 . The next year saw 1999 RH258 and 1999 TE328 , and the current record is 2000 SE372 . In the first two editions of this Dictionary, more than 80 percent of the then-numbered minor planets had been named. In the third and fourth editions the fractions had dropped to 75 and 63 percent, respectively. But now, for the fifth edition, the fraction is only 20 percent! In November 2002, when the numberings reached (50000), the namings for the first time surpassed 10,000! That is the reason for the publication of the fifth edition of the DMPN at this time. And, understandably in terms of space, this edition restricts itself to documenting just those minor planets that actually have names. This tailing off in the naming rate has been inevitable. Indeed, some have suggested – and not for the first time – that this curious practice of naming minor planets should be stopped. Others think that, as long as a sizable fraction of the discoverers want to name their finds, it is still reasonable and appropriate to recognize their industry in this manner. The danger is, of course, that future names will become more and more trivial. Yet if the naming is not done by the IAU, in a general cooperation with the discoverers, some “International Asteroid Registry” will surely appear somewhere to carry out the task – undoubtedly for a helfy fee. Not all the minor planets need to be named, they certainly don’t have to be named immediately, and the tailing off is not necessarily such a bad thing. The main problem is in fact the preparation of the citations, and in ensuring that they are concise and well-written and – yes – interesting to read. Since 1999 the citations have

Cambridge, MA, January 2003

in fact been restricted to four printed lines in the Minor Planet Circulars. Relatively few astronomers seem to have developed the art of writing a good citation. It should not be a “potted biography” or a “travelogue””. It should be something that arrests the attention of the reader, perhaps by pointing out some unusual fact about the person or place being honored, or why this particular object is being selected to have that name. International Asteroid Registry or no, the prognosis is that the IAU will accept fewer names for minor planets in the future. The CSBN has already carried out experiments by voting only among the union of the names initially selected by the individual members from those submitted by discoverers during a two-month period, in the hope that only the “best” names would thereby be adopted... The drawback – to discoverers –i s that this would tend to discriminate against names of personal significance to them. Another suggestion has been not to name intrinsically faint minor planets unless they have some special dynamical or physical characteristics. The CSBN is currently examining a combination of procedures that could reasonably address perceived unfairness. As with the earlier editions, the principal responsibility for this volume rests with Lutz Schmadel, who has done a superb job putting together a truly authoritative piece of work. It is not just a catalogue or dictionary in the usual sense. One can in fact read the book like a novel, from beginning to end. In so doing, one could certainly draw some conclusions about the psychology of astronomers. One can also learn a great deal about the world and its customs. The book is also a marvelous source of information about mythology, classical and otherwise.

Introduction

Introductory Remarks The introduction to previous editions of the “Dictionary” started with statements deeply influenced by the breathtaking evolution of minor planet astronomy during the last decade. These sentences, characterized by a tone of disbelief and astonishment about the explosive dynamism of this field, hold more today than ever: “In a period when discoveries flourish, more and more minor planets are being discovered; it is inevitable that this dictionary can be no more than an inventory of the situation at this moment. A compilation of this nature is by definition bound to be out of date before it appears in print. There are, however, two reasons that justify this effort. After having numbered and named the 10000th minor planet, a historic goal was achieved. It seems reasonable to avail ourselves of this opportunity to summarize an interesting aspect of this narrow branch of astronomy during the past two centuries. The second reason is purely pragmatic: this seems to be the last chance to handle the enormous amount of minor-planet data in one volume.” The actual dimensions, however, assumed horrendous proportions. Triggered by gigantically successful automated CCD surveys and the establishment of even more powerful computing facilities combined with the dedication of their users, the situation changed dramatically anew. The use of the term “historic,” therefore, should be reconsidered. Compared with the figures in the first edition of the “Dictionary” in 1992, the number of minor planets has increased by a whole order of magnitude! Obviously, this greatly influences our editorial policy. Whereas previous editions compiled the discovery data of all already numbered planets, we are now forced to go back to the roots, i.e., we must limit ourselves to the compilation of all named asteroids in order to fulfill the book’s title. At first glance, this book is simply a compilation of data. For the historians of our science, however, the naming of an object is a complex and revealing matter. Piazzi’s discovery of Ceres was the beginning of an absolutely new branch of science that gave an extraordinary impulse to the development of mathematical tools for astronomy. The brilliant work in the period between Gauss and Poincar´e made celestial me-

chanics prosper to the extent that it is now applied in many very different branches of science. The entire second half of the nineteenth century was characterized by intensive observational and numerical work on minor planets. As the importance of this field decreased, the process of name giving changed in a very obvious way. Mystification changed to profanation. The previously dramatic and rare discovery of new members of our Solar System changed to the finding of ever fainter and smaller objects in large numbers. These changes were reflected in the nomenclature of minor planets. Interest in questions of nomenclature originated not only from the perspective of cultural history but also from a very pragmatic consideration. The large number of new discoveries made it more and more difficult to give a newly numbered planet an adequate name. Recently the same name was given to two different minor planets; an oversight that was promptly corrected. The Minor Planet Names Committee (MPNC) of the IAU Commission 20 was founded and in 1994 enlarged to the Small Bodies Names Committee (SBNC), and again renamed in 1997 to Committee on Small Bodies Nomenclature (CSBN) in order to study the proposals for names (of minor planets and comets) and to investigate whether the suggested names do not resemble too strongly any other names previously assigned – a work that is not always easy to manage! Discoverers of minor planets might also find this book useful. On the other hand, they will still have to seek advice in the literature of classical antiquity if, for instance, a newly discovered Trojan is to be named. Some people have already had the awkward vision of a ‘first Trojan soldier’, ‘second Trojan soldier’, etc. We can but hope that this will not become customary! The multitude of newly discovered new classes of minor planets forced astronomers to look for generic names like the Trojan example. Much turmoil developed from the discovery of many members of the Transneptunian (or Kuiper) Belt. In view of this situation the proposal to incorporate Planet X, better known as planet Pluto, into this new class by assigning it the number (10000) produced fierce debates. Overwhelmingly, the astronomical community voted in favor of this change but the proposal was rejected by the IAU Secretariat. Nevertheless, some Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) were

Introduction

introduced into groups of generic names. The classical KBOs (or ‘cubewanos’) were given names of the creation gods from classical mythology and names of the underworld gods were used for the so-called ‘plutinos.’ The naming of the class of ‘centaurs,’ however, soon will reach the unpleasant situation of a rather limited supply of classical names. In 2002 the proposal from the Dutch science journalist Govert Schilling (b. 1956) to use names from the novels of the English author John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was newly discussed for the naming of the so-called ‘scattered-disc objects’ among the KBOs. Experiences from the Pluto debate, however, raised these discussions into the frame of a political decision which may prevent a quick resolution. Problems in nomenclature seem to grow at least proportionally with the necessity of naming itself.

more or less subtle allusions to events of world-wide importance. From the very beginning of this project, it was clear that not only the names and their explanations should be mentioned but also the most important circumstances under which the discoveries were made. There is only a slight correlation between the discovery date of a minor planet and its definitive number. In many cases, an object could be numbered only some decades after its discovery; and more time might have elapsed before a name was assigned to the numbered minor planet. It must furthermore be considered that in many cases the discoverer is not the patron who names the object. All these facts must be considered when one wants to use this book not only as a mere dictionary, but, as a resource on cultural and astronomical history.

Everyone has their own specific ideas as to what to include in a book and what not to include. It is not easy to reach a general consensus. We have mainly used original quotations in order that the character of this compilation be evident. From number (1565) Lemaˆıtre, which was the first object to be numbered after World War II, this policy has been applied to every minor planet. From that time onward, the Minor Planet Center – then in Cincinnati, Ohio, now in Cambridge, Massachusetts – took the task of nomenclature over from the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ARI) – then in Berlin, now in Heidelberg. The Minor Planet Circulars (MPC) report not only on new name assignments but also on many names that have since replaced for numbers earlier than (1565). The names of these older planets were usually taken from the lists of Herget (1955, 1968). The explanations of these older names could, in most cases, be found in the contemporary literature, including the Astronomische Nachrichten (AN), the Zirkulare des Rechen-Instituts (RI), etc. These explanations often have the character of an official announcement. These older explanations differ widely regarding accuracy, completeness, and the aesthetic use of language; thus they reveal much about the proposer of the name, who is usually the discoverer, and his or her cultural background. In this compilation we deviate from the English language in only those few cases in which important original contributions exist.

The author and colleagues who were involved in compiling this dictionary took pains to handle the vast amount of data carefully. Nevertheless there may remain inaccuracies or omissions for which the author accepts the blame. In future the remaining gaps will be filled and many new names added. We are convinced that there will be more studies on minor planet names with meanings so far unknown or doubtful, plus further research on the existing nomenclature. We would welcome any corrections or comments from the users of this compilation.

The minor-planet sky, like the surface of the Moon or of Mars, has become a sort of ‘astronomer’s cemetery’. When a minor planet has been named for a deceased astronomer, we have supplemented the relevant name quotations with biographical data. References given to published obituaries may be helpful for detailed study. Many names are correlated in various ways, so the reader will find cross references throughout the catalogue. In this way, entire genealogical tables could be set up; there is ample evidence for specific preferences on the part of particular name proposers. Comparisons show a change in the ‘Zeitgeist,’ and there are, also

Minor Planet Designations The choice of an appropriate name for a celestial body presents difficulties as the total number of objects increases rapidly and considerably. Eventually one is forced to introduce a numbering system. Very large numbers of objects, however, require the simultaneous use of numbers and names in order to avoid mistakes. In particular, minor-planet nomenclature requires such a procedure. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, nomenclature problems did not exist. Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta were mentioned in scientific literature without associated numbers. They were handled the same way as the major planets known at the time. Problems only arose in about 1850 with the dramatic increase of minor-planet discoveries. It became customary to assign a special symbol to the name and number of a minor planet, following the custom of the traditional symbols associated with the major planets. This procedure, however, soon failed. On the one hand, it was difficult to print these symbols; on the other hand, it soon became impossible to remember all the different symbols assigned. It seems that Luther (1855) was the last astronomer who assigned a special symbol to a minor planet, namely to (37) Fides. In place of symbols, the system of ordinal numbers was introduced. Ferguson (1852) initiated this development

Introduction with (16) Psyche. He used an encircled number rather than setting the number in parentheses as is practiced today. Obviously, Ferguson adopted this style of designation from Encke (1851) who declared in the BAJ for 1854: “Endlich f¨ uge ich noch hinzu, daß bei der Verwickelung und Schwierigkeit der neueren Planetenzeichen ich mir erlaubt habe, statt der Zeichen Zahlen in einen Kreis eingeschlossen einzuf¨ uhren.” [Finally, I want to add that – in view of the complications and difficulties with the recently used planetary symbols – I took the liberty to introduce encircled numbers instead of symbols.] Wolf (1892) stated that he and Gould introduced the encircled numbers as early as 1851. A number was assigned by the editor of the AN upon publishing the discovery of a minor planet. This custom soon resulted in awkward consequences. By the end of 1857, some fifty planets had been discovered – on October 9th Ferguson had detected (50) Virginia. The numbering, until then a chronological one, became confused because Goldschmidt had already found a new planet on September 9th , which was later named (56) Melete. This wasn’t the first time the numbering method had been criticized. Laugier (1859) proposed that the numbering should be absolutely chronological. Indeed, new discoveries were given names very soon, but as for the number, the chronological order was to be followed strictly. Foerster (1861) gave a rather sarcastic outline of this policy of the Berliner Astronomisches Jahrbuch (BAJ): “Was die Benennungen der Planeten betrifft, so werden dieselben von Berlin aus vom Planeten (60) an nur mit Nummern bezeichnet werden ... Die Namensgebung k¨ onnte fortan nur eine Quelle von L¨ acherlichkeiten werden.” [As for naming planets, Berlin defines them by numbers only from planet (60) onwards ... The naming process could become a source of ridicule.]

The problems of nomenclature and numbering were further complicated by the question of who was the true discoverer and who had the right to propose a name and act as the ‘patron.’ Wolf (1859) wrote a noteworthy comment: “So wenig man Flamsteed die Entdeckung des Uranus, oder Lalande die Entdekkung Neptun’s zugeschrieben hat, so wenig darf man Goldschmidt die Entdeckung von (56) zuschreiben, – nicht wer zuerst gesehen oder beobachtet, sondern wer zuerst erkannt hat, ist der Entdecker.” [The discovery of Uranus cannot be ascribed to Flamsteed, the one of Neptune not to Lalande, accordingly you cannot ascribe the discovery of (56) to Goldschmidt, – the discoverer of a planet is not the one who first saw or observed it, but the one who first recognized it as a new object.] This was the first time that the patronage of a new discovery could be transferred to the person who computed the orbit if the first observer had not realized the nature of the object. Nowadays, this problem remains of some importance. The sharp increase in discovery rate mandated that the BAJ or the AN assign numbers promptly. Although the basic idea of chronological numbering remained, other deficiencies in the nomenclature system soon emerged. In quite a few cases subsequent confirming observations of a ‘discovery’ could not be made; hence the number of spurious minor planets accumulated. What should then be done with the numbers which had been assigned to them? Tietjen, then editor of the BAJ, proposed a way out of this dilemma. Krueger (1892) had suggested that all subsequent new discoveries should be given a provisional designation: “...der Herausgeber der Astronomischen Nachrichten wird die neuen Planeten von jetzt an zun¨ achst nur mit einer provisorischen Bezeichnung, 18.. A, B, C, ..., nach dem Datum der Anmeldung bei der Centralstelle f¨ ur Astronomische Telegramme versehen. Die defini-

Introduction

tive Numerierung wird der Herausgeber des Berliner Astronomischen Jahrbuchs erst sp¨ ater zu geeigneter Zeit vornehmen und hierbei alle diejenigen Planeten, bei denen ein gen¨ ugendes Material zur Berechnung der Bahnelemente nicht vorhanden sein sollte, von der Numerierung ausschließen.” [From now on, the editor of the AN will first give the new planet a provisional designation, 18.. A, B, C, ..., according to the date of registration at the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams. The definitive number will be given only later by the editor of the BAJ. This procedure will make it possible to exclude all planets from numbering whose orbital elements could not be calculated due to a lack of material.] Only one year later, in 1893, it was realized that one single capital letter in the provisional designation was not enough, so it was decided to start at the beginning of the alphabet again. That is, 1893 Z was followed by 1893 AA, 1893 AB, and so on. Krueger (1893) noted that the assignment of the letter should be done without respect to the interruption by the beginning of a new year. During World War I some additional systems for provisional designations were introduced, raising new problems. For example, the astronomers in Sime¨ıs did not have a regular transmission line during this time, and found it necessary to introduce their own provisional numbering. The solution of the designation problem goes back to a suggestion by Bower (1924) and this system is still in use: “To produce homogeneity of nomenclature, the following suggestion is made. Assign as a provisional designation, the year of discovery and two capital letters. The first letter will indicate the time in the year of discovery; A, the interval Jan. 1-15, B Jan. 16-31, C Febr. 1-15, D Febr. 16-29, etc. The second letter will indicate the order in the discovery interval that notice came to the Recheninstitut; A = first, B = second, etc. This designation is of the same brevity as the one most used, accurately indicates time of discovery, approximately indicates the right ascension at discovery, and has a sufficient expansibility to make unnecessary more than one system of designation.” The Berlin Recheninstitut adopted this suggestion and, since 1925, has acted accordingly. Kopff (1924) suggested the following refinement to the system of Bower: “Diese Vorschl¨ age sind noch dahin zu erg¨ anzen, daß bei Entdekkung von mehr als 25 Planeten in einem halben Monat, ein Fall, der allerdings kaum vorkommt, das Alphabet an zweiter Stelle von neuem wieder zu laufen beginnt unter Hinzuf¨ ugung des Index 1, 2 ... an den zweiten Buchstaben; so w¨ are z.B. der 26. Planet in der ersten Januarh¨ alfte 1925 mit 1925 AA1 , der 27. mit 1925 AB1 , der 51. mit 1925 AA2 zu bezeichnen.” [These suggestions are to be complemented as follows: In the improbable case (sic! ) of more than 25 discoveries within half a month, the alphabet for the second letter starts running once more followed by an index number; so the 26th planet in the first half of January

1925 should be designated 1925 AA1 , the 27th planet 1925 AB1 , the 51st planet 1925 AA2 .] In this way the demand for a chronological ordering was finally met. This dictionary lists the principal designations following the new-style system with any entry. In the course of time, a permanent number was given only if a certain number of observations, appropriately distributed over time, was assured. The ARI assigned a definitive number in practically all cases if a first elliptical orbit from three observations yielded sufficiently small residuals for all observations not taken into account. Herget (1952) sharpened these conditions considerably: “An unnumbered minor planet will be assigned a permanent number when elements have been derived which: a) depend upon observations in at least two oppositions, b) include perturbations, and c) produce satisfactory residuals for all known observations. Condition a) will not be required if the perihelion distance is less than 1.67 a.u.” During the decades following Herget’s refinements, the conditions became even stricter. Except for very unusual, earth-approaching planets, observations from three oppositions were demanded, including one longer-observed arc in one opposition. After having numbered a new record of 384 minor planets in 1990, Marsden (1991) even announced: “However, the general increase in the accuracy of the orbits of the numbered minor planets would seem to dictate that the standards for new numberings should be more stringent than hitherto. Although earth-approaching objects may be numbered after two oppositions and uniformly well-observed objects after three, it seems not unreasonable generally to delay numbering until there are four or even more oppositions...” Precise quantitative guidelines are discussed by Marsden (1996).

Evolution of Naming Rules Let us now turn to the historical evolution of naming minor planets. Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta are terms taken from classical mythology. With the increase of discoveries beginning around 1850 it seemed only natural to follow these examples. The name given to the early minor planet (12) Victoria, however, was the first of many to initiate a long controversy. One of the most pugnacious astronomers in this field was the founder of the Bilk Observatory near D¨ usseldorf, Luther (1861), who vehemently adhered to classical names. He dictated: “So lange als f¨ ur andere Himmelsk¨ orper, z.B. f¨ ur Sterne, Cometen, die Trabanten des Saturn und Uranus und sogar f¨ ur die Mondgebirge besondere Namen f¨ ur zweckm¨ aßig erachtet werden, d¨ urfte es auch zweckm¨ aßig sein, die auf der classischen Mythologie beruhenden Planeten-Namen beizubehalten, indem die alleinige Bezeichnung durch Nummern leicht eine ergiebige Quelle von Fehlern und Verwechslungen werden k¨ onnte. Unclassische Namen sind

Introduction freilich ... auf die Dauer nicht haltbar, so daß es rathsam sein wird, statt solcher ausschließlich die Nummern zu gebrauchen.” [As long as people believe it appropriate to give special names to celestial bodies like stars, comets, the moons of Saturn and Uranus and even for the mountains of the Moon, it seems also appropriate to adhere to names from classical mythology, since a mere number could easily lead to mistakes and misunderstandings. Unclassical names, however, ... are not tenable in long run; instead of such an alternative, one should rather turn to the numbers alone.] His demand culminated in the rule: “Classische Namen werden gebraucht, unclassische verworfen; f¨ ur die unclassischen Namen haben die Berechner das Recht, classische Namen zu substituiren.” [Classical names are necessary, unclassical names are rejected; (orbit) computers have the right to substitute classical names for unclassical ones.] This dogmatic attitude was immediately and strongly criticized. Steinheil (1861) noted smugly: “Welchen Vortheil aber soll es bieten ... nur classische Namen zu w¨ ahlen? Sollen uns die neuen Planeten daran erinnern, daß wir einst im Gymnasium gewesen sind? Hat die Astronomie der Philologie so viel zu verdanken, daß sie keiner anderen Erinnerung, als dieser, Raum geben soll? Ich glaube nicht, daß dieses nachgewiesen werden kann.” [What advantage should there be ... in choosing only classical names? Are the new planets to remind us of having gone to a classical secondary school? Does astronomy owe so much to philology as to remember nothing but this? I do not think that this can be proved.] And he goes on: “Herr Dr. Luther scheint aber auch die practische Seite nicht genau erwogen zu haben, denn wenn zwei oder mehr Rechner einen Planeten bearbeiten, welcher soll das Recht der Umtaufe haben, oder soll es allen bleiben?” [It seems that Dr. Luther has not taken into account the practical side of his demand. Who should have the right to substitute unclassical names if two or even more orbit computers are working on the same planet; each of them?] Attempts to give up names entirely in favor of only numbering failed as well. Goldschmidt (1861) agreed to the defenders of a classical line such as the one taken by Luther, Hind, and the editor of the AN, Peters: “Ich stimme ... gegen die Abschaffung der Namen, da die gr¨ oßten Verwirrungen daraus entstehen w¨ urden. Haben sich einige missf¨ allige Namen eingestellt, so ist es nicht der M¨ uhe werth, den Pathen deshalb Verdruß zu machen. An einem Planeten ist alles Ziffer, das einzige, was poetisch bleibt, ist der Name, und der soll auch wieder Ziffer werden, ohne daß eigentlich eine besondere Ursache dazu da w¨ are.” [I vote ... against the repeal of names, which would cause great confusion. Some displeasing names are not worth the trouble of annoying their patrons. A planet is all number – the name is the only poetic part of it, and this would now become again a number

5

without there being a real cause to do so.] Peters (1861) tried to put an end to this controversy by standing on his authority as editor of the AN: “... glaube ich den Wunsch ¨ außern zu d¨ urfen, dass die Controverse u ¨ber den, in wissenschaftlicher Beziehung unerheblichen Gegenstand, in diesen Bl¨ attern nicht weiter gef¨ uhrt werde.” [... I do not like this controversy, which being of no scientific importance will not be discussed further in this journal.] The determination of the classicists remain unbroken, however. A decade and a half later Luther (1878) attacked again: “In Bezug auf die neuerdings wieder allzubunt werdenden Benennungen ... w¨ are es zu Gunsten der W¨ urde der Wissenschaft gewiß sehr zu w¨ unschen, daß die Entdecker dem ¨ alteren Brauche gem¨ aß vorzugsweise klassisch mythologische Namen w¨ ahlen und neuere Anspielungen jeglicher Art vermeiden m¨ ochten... Durch strengeres Festhalten an den Namen des klassischen Alterthums ... wird es hoffentlich gelingen, die wachsende Schaar der kleinen Planeten vor zunehmender Gleichg¨ ultigkeit zu bewahren.” [The names having now become a more than colorful mixture ... it seems very advisable to return to the old usage of preferring classical, mythological names. Allusions of any kind should be avoided – for the sake of the honor of science... A stricter adherence to classical names will hopefully help to shield the growing number of minor planets from increasing indifference.] Bruhns (1878) concurred with Luther: “... da einmal klassische Namen u ¨blich und allgemein adoptirt sind, ist es das Vorteilhafteste, von dem Gebrauche nicht abzuweichen und alle Namen, welche sich auf lebende Personen oder auf vor¨ ubergehende Ereignisse beziehen, zu vermeiden... Nur durch die Wahl klassischer Namen wird es auch ferner m¨ oglich sein, den gew¨ ahlten Namen allgemeine Anerkennung zu verschaffen.” [... classical names being in use and commonly adopted, it seems to be best not to deviate from this usage and to avoid all names referring to living people or current events ... Only the choice of classical names will further win general recognition.] At the end of the 19th century Holden (1896) still denounced some unclassical, female names by reproaching: “Many of them, at least, read like the Christian names in a girl’s school.” After the number of minor planets had reached some 400, however, the classical line could no longer be maintained. The rule was restricted to the choice of female names. Bauschinger (1899) gave the opinion of the ARI by threatening: “Es ist Anlaß gegeben die Herren Entdecker zu ersuchen, bei der Namensgebung der kleinen Planeten von dem herk¨ ommlichen Gebrauch, weibliche Namen zu w¨ ahlen, nicht abzugehen; es ist dieser Gebrauch bisher nur einmal aus guten Gr¨ unden bei (433) Eros durchbrochen worden. M¨ annliche Personennamen werden im Berliner Jahrbuch keine Aufname finden.” [There is reason to ask the discoverers

Introduction

not to deviate from the rule of choosing female names; so far this rule has only once been offended – and for a good reason – with (433) Eros. Male names will not be accepted in the BAJ.] Kreutz (1899) agreed and concluded that male names would not be admitted by the AN. This policy could, of course, not be long maintained. First, names of cities were given the feminine suffix ‘a’ or ‘ia’, until finally more and more male names were transformed in this way to follow the rule. This was practiced for a long time. While an exact date is unknown, World War II seems to have ended this procedure. At the beginning of the 20th century the nature of the nomenclature problem changed notably. First there was a gradual abandoning of classical names – the large numbers forced a pragmatic approach. The importance of naming, however, has never been denied. Bauschinger (1901) argued for the policy of the ARI as expressed in the BAJ, edited by the Recheninstitut, as well as in the AN: “... darf nicht u ¨bersehen werden, daß auch die Namen ihre volle Berechtigung haben. Abgesehen davon, daß ein durch 100 Jahre u ¨blicher Gebrauch nicht ohne Nothwendigkeit aufgegeben werden sollte, bieten die Namen ein werthvolles mnemotechnisches Huelfsmittel ... Nummern und Buchstaben werden leicht verwechselt, der Namen dagegen pr¨ agt sich mit der ganzen Geschichte des Planeten leicht dem Ged¨ achtnis ein.” [...it may not be ignored that names have their justification, too. Other than the fact that a usage that has been practiced for a century should not be given up without necessity, names offer a good mnemonic tool ... numbers and letters are mixed up easily; a name, however, stamps upon the memory all the history of a planet.] There was an appeal made to the discoverers to make use of their naming rights within a reasonable span of time. On behalf of the ARI, Bauschinger asserted that the right of giving a name should be withdrawn from the discoverer if a name had not been assigned to a planet after observations at a second opposition. This system has worked until the present time. In order to make this dictionary as complete as possible, the Minor Planet Center gave the order in MPC 17249 (1990 Dec. 2) that the resolution of IAU Commission 20 from 1979 would be applied: “... if the discoverer does not exercise his established right within ten years after the numbering of a minor planet, that right will be lost.” As a consequence of the adoption of this resolution, the discoverers’ rights of naming all planets with a number lower than (2378) was terminated effective 1991 May 1. A similar notice was announced in MPC 22089 (1993 June 4) in order to support the second edition of this dictionary: “... This applies to minor planets up to (2892), for which, under the ”ten-year rule”, discoverers will lose their naming privileges.” For the benefit of the third edition this procedure was announced once

more in MPC 26205 (1996 Jan. 5) and applied now to all minor planets up to (3414). The Editorial Notice in MPC 33151 (1998 Dec. 8) announced a similar procedure for the fourth edition which “... particularly applies to minor planets up to (4044).” After the World War II, the rule of assigning names with female endings was finally given up. The note in MPC 837 leaves no doubt on this matter: “The custom of attaching feminine endings to masculine names has had numerous exceptions in the past. Names which are submitted will not be rejected or modified if they are masculine.” This rule still exists, although quite recently some exceptions have again followed the traditional rules. Compulsory regulations concerning the assignment of names were first given by Herget (1952) in MPC 837. The Minor Planet Center retained the decisive authority: “The discoverer may propose the name for each numbered planet, and this name shall be recognized only after it has been announced in the MPC. The announcement shall also contain an explanation of the significance of the name and the reason for assigning the honor.” Without this rule, the meaning of many of the names and their patrons would tend to vanish in the dark of the history of astronomy. At the same time as announcing the regulations, Herget justified this procedure as well as his liberal attitude towards the assignment of names: “The principal justification for exercising control over the assignment of names is to avoid names which are too similar to others as to cause confusion, and to prevent names which are deliberately offensive or in bad taste. In the past, names have been rejected on the grounds of political connotations. This policy will not be continued in the future... The discoverer is usually motivated, with complete sincerity, to assign what he considers an honor, and his privilege should not be restricted because someone else holds a different opinion.” Herget’s views did not remain unchallenged. Occasionally there were discussions about the admissibility of suggested names. These discussions were mainly about questions of taste and about eventual political implications. Regulations were discussed and resolutions were passed in various IAU General Assemblies. The Minor Planet Names Committee is the decisive authority. Before 1991, the Names Committee was composed of the President and Vice President of Commission 20 and the Director of the Minor Planet Center. When controversies arise the proposer of a name should have the right to appeal to the entire Commission 20. This right has been exercised in several cases, with differing results. The regulation in use at the present time was passed at the 1985 IAU General Assembly held in New Delhi. The resolution, published e.g. in MPC 10194 (1985 Dec. 27), reads as follows: “Names proposed for minor planets will not be accepted if, in the opinion

Introduction of the Minor Planet Names Committee, they are too nearly similar to those of other minor or major planets or natural satellites, or are in questionable taste. Names should be pronounceable, preferably expressible as a single word, and no more than sixteen characters long. Names glorifying individuals or events principally known for their political or military activities or implications are considered unsuitable unless at least one hundred years have elapsed since the individuals died or the events took place. Objects involved with the Jovian triangular libration points should be named in accordance with the tradition of honoring heroes of the Trojan War. In a disputed case, the proposer may appeal the committee’s decision at a general meeting of Commission 20, provided that due written notice is given to the President of the Commission.” In view of the increasing problems in the field of nomenclature the suggestion to enlarge the Minor Planet Names Committee to seven members was accepted at the 1991 IAU General Assembly held in Bue˜ nos Aires. Subsequent actions by Commission 20 increased the size, renamed it the Small Bodies Names Committee at the 1994 The Hague General Assembly and required the group of nine experts, and in 1997 the Kyoto Assembly changed it into the Committee on Small Bodies Nomenclature with 13 astronomers (see Appendix 9) to judge on the names of both minor planets and comets. In the past, it has happened that names were chosen for natural satellites of the major planets that had already been assigned to minor planets; an agreement with the Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) was established in order to avoid an unnecessary duplication of names. After consultations, policies were also set down for naming transjovian bodies. As mentioned earlier the problems involved with the nomenclature of a terrific growing number of objects increase too. The rapid evolution in naming minor planets also called for detailed decisions on the form of the citations. Marsden (1995, unpublished) formulated the following guidelines: “Citations should be concise, to the point and devoid of remarks that, if tied directly to the name proposal they support, might cause some to think that the name should be rejected for some ... reasons ... Citations supporting names of persons should not be “potted biographies” (but they should include birth and death dates), nor those supporting names of places “travelogues.” A name may have no obvious connection with astronomy in general or minor planets in particular; a more obscure connection would therefore be of interest to the readers and should be mentioned. Propaganda, whether political or for the aggrandizement of the proposer, should not be included in a citation. A name is often of very personal significance to the proposer; if the proposer chooses to acknowledge this in the citation, this should be done very specifically, rather than in terms of generalities. Final edit-

7

ing of the citations is done by the Minor Planet Center staff. The actual text of a citation will not exceed a maximum of ten printed lines in the MPCs.” In view of increasing costs with the production of the printed MPCs the maximum size of the citations were shortened considerably in the meantime. Principles, guidelines and rules, necessarily, became more and more important constituents in this particular field of astronomy. This dictionary cannot discuss in detail the evolution of specific nomenclature. Above all it cannot enter into particulars concerning the delicate question of who is the discoverer of a planet and who, after a discoverer’s death, should have the moral right to assign a name to a planet. Recent discussions on such cases leave no doubt that many of our colleagues attach as much importance to the problem of nomenclature as was done more than a century ago.

Information Content of the Catalogue This entire catalogue results from the analysis of a computerized data base set up by the author. Data fields were defined as narrowly as possible, so that the data could satisfy a wide range of uses. Some data fields are obviously obligatory, such as the definitive number or the date of discovery, others, such as the explanation of the name, are not. The data fields depend logically on each other in ways which can be used for plausibility checks or completeness control. For example, wherever a naming citation is given, the data field must also contain the relevant references to the citation. The provisional designation of a planet enables the control of its date of discovery, and vice versa. The data base contains additional information such as classification marks. These are not provided with every entry, but some of the appendices were set up with their help. The catalogue gives the provisional designation assigned by the Minor Planet Center. This systematic representation gives the discovery date of a planet with an accuracy of half a month. Prior to 1925 – see e.g. Kr¨ uger (1892, 1893) – the provisional designations did not follow a strict rule. Detailed information were copied from Strobel (1963). In some exceptional cases after 1925 the provisional designations did not follow Bower’s (1924) system. The catalogue also lists designations assigned according to the modern method to planets discovered before 1925. These designations are marked with the letter ‘A’ instead of the number ‘1’ in the date of the year. A third group of provisional designations comes from the generally known PalomarLeiden Survey made by van Houten et al. (1970). It consists of an ordinal number followed by the suffix ‘P-L.’ Further investigations describing searches for Trojan planets are reported in papers by van Houten et al. (1984, 1991) and van Houten-Groeneveld et al.

Introduction

(1989).

The suffixes ‘T-1,’ ‘T-2,’ and ‘T-3’ refer to the three surveys for Trojans. The obligatory entries concerning the discovery circumstances report three pieces of information: the date of discovery, the name(s) of the discoverer(s), and the place of discovery. The date refers to UTC, so it does not depend on the meridian of the place of discovery. The names of the discoverers are given in about 17% of all cases. If more than one name is given this indicates that there was a team working at the same observatory. In many cases an individual discoverer was not named, so the name of the observatory is given as the corporate discoverer. The place of discovery is always a geographical mark like a city, nearby locality, or a mountain. This procedure was preferred rather than quoting particular observatories; these often have branches elsewhere, or have moved to other places or closed down. Moreover, planets were discovered at small, private observatories. A list of concordances in Appendix 4 (see DMPN 5th Ed.) shows the relationship between place names and observatories. It should be emphasized that the whole data base is used to construct the appendices whereas the printed catalogue only contains those minor planets already named. Following the discovery place the citation of the numbering information is provided in parentheses with a leading asterisk.

Starting with the Addendum 2003–2005 of DMPN 5th Ed. we include in brackets approximate values for a (semi-major axis), e (orbital eccentricity), and i (inclination of the orbit). These data facilitate the classification to minor planet families and groups. During the first third of the last century, in particular, the discovery rate was so rapid that in several cases more than one independent report on the same object was given to the AN or to the ARI, before it could be published. These independent discoveries are also listed, together with the relevant dates, discoverers, and places. The explanations of names constitute the main part of the catalogue. We attempt to give complete original quotations. This was possible with all entries originating from the MPC. All insertions by the author, such as life dates or cross references to other planets are indicated by braces. Names from mythology are often interpreted differently by different poets from the classics; in such cases, several interpretations are given. We have attempted to classify the explanations of names with respect to their reliability by a flag in the data base. Approximately 1% of all background information on particular names is indicated as uncertain or questionable by using adverbs like ‘probably’ or ‘possibly.’ A total of 14804 of all planet names, corresponding to more than 98% of all names, are assumed to be absolutely correct. This is not very remarkable, since the

majority of explanations could be quoted from literature or from the MPCs. The meanings of 119 names are still in question; these names are appropriately indicated in the dictionary. Most of such cases involve female names which could not be assigned to a specific woman. This small portion indicates the great success of efforts made by the astronomers involved. Ever since the discovery of the first planets the right of naming has often been transferred to other astronomers; this practice is still being followed. If any information on the proposer was available, it is provided following the explanation of the name. Sometimes we were able to give quite detailed information on the problems of naming, on the discovery circumstances, or on the discoverers themselves. Astronomer colleagues are honored in many cases. The naming citations by themselves give but few biographical facts; more explicit descriptions of the lives of deceased astronomers are found in the literature. Therefore, we took many bibliographical remarks from obituaries published in the volumes of Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts during the past decades and placed them at the end of the respective entries. The dictionary contains additional useful information in the appendices. Alphabetical lists of all discoverers and of all observatories involved with the discoveries are given. The discoverers are listed with the total number of discoveries, and, in parentheses, the number of co-discoveries involved. The time interval between the first and the last discovery is also given. Appendix 11 lists the planet names that could not be interpreted so far, together with the year of the discovery and the discoverer. There is also a table that gives the names of minor planets of special types that cannot be inferred from the data base (Appendix 10, see DMPN 5th Ed.). The objects with special characteristics were compiled from a data base of the orbital elements of all numbered planets. Whereas the Trojans are defined by semi-major axes of mean Jovian distance, the Aten, Amor, and Apollo planets are Earth approaching, thus deserving the special interest of astronomers. In many assignments one can see how this special type of orbit influenced the names.

Statistics and Classification of the Names The object (1) Ceres was discovered on January 1, 1801 and is thus the ‘eldest’ numbered and named planet; (202736) Julietclare currently is the named planet with the highest number. Overall 207942 planets were numbered up to the end of February 2009. The distribution of the discoveries during the more than two centuries can be taken from the cumulative diagram Fig. 1. The immense increase of the rate of discovery during the last years is obvious. One century after Piazzi,

about 0.2% of the planets that are now numbered had been discovered. The number 1000 was surpassed in 1921; the number 2000, shortly after World War II. The progress of the numbering process during the last few years has been extremely rapid. It is therefore appropriate to measure the evolution in terms of consecutive ten thousand newly numbered objects – minor planets (10,000), (50,000), (100,000), and (200,000) were numbered in March 2000, November 2002, October 2005, and November 2008, respectively! Brian Marsden (1979), then Director of the MinorPlanet Center and a leading expert in this field, enormously underrated this evolution when he said: “At the present and anticipated future rate of growth, it is not unreasonable to suppose that there will be 4000 numbered minor planets by the end of the century.” He, in fact, underestimated the real evolution by a factor of five. The rate of growth becomes evident by noting that during only 16 months (!) in 2001/2002 as many minor planets were numbered as during the span of 201 years before that. This rate of growth is all the more impressive when one notes that the standards applied to the quality of the orbital elements are now much stricter. The discovery rate of numbered planets is discussed in some detail by Bowell et al. (1989) and more recently by Marsden (1996). However, both papers gave results which are completely untenable today. Actually we are faced with the fantastic doubling rate of minor planet numberings of approximately 3 years – the first 4096 = 212 objects were numbered by 1989 and this number grows to 32768 = 215 at the end of 2001 and will reach 218 in 2010. Presumably this tendency will be flattened out in forthcoming years because of saturation effects in the observing as well as data handling capacities. One has to bear in mind that at peak times observational data are reported to the Minor Planet Center with a frequency nearing 1 Hz! In general, the earlier a planet was discovered, the sooner it was named. For example, each of the first 3707 planets were assigned a name. Unfortunately, the naming ratio seriously dropped off during the last few years. While this ratio was nearly constant with 75 – 80% at the first half of the last decade, it decreased to approximately 60% at the end of the millennium. The actual ratio amounts to only 7% (Fig. 1). Reasons for the delay in the naming process which unfortunately reduces the security of redundancy are the lack of staff at the CSBN and the MPC. Occasionally, a limitation (e.g., by the magnitudes) or even a general stop of the naming was considered. The completeness of names declines considerably with higher numbers. There has always been a preference for names consisting of a single word. This rule could not be maintained, however, since the names of some of the people to be honored consist of two or even three words. Thus names combined of more than one word had to be tol-

erated. Some designations contain a hyphen, and some an apostrophe. For some time a diacritical mark, such as an umlaut could not be adequately represented by data processing machines. The use of diacritical marks causes no such problem with machine-readable data now, and consequently such marks are found in many names. The length of a chosen name is also interesting. Names consisting of a single character have never been accepted. For reasons of data processing, however, a maximum length of 16 characters was adopted. Unfortunately, this rule was violated in the special case of (4015) Wilson-Harrington. The following table shows the present distribution of the length of names: Number of Minor Planet characters names 2 8 3 128 4 646 5 1439 6 2212 7 2335 8 2215 9 1824

Number of Minor Planet characters names 10 1484 11 1225 12 916 13 319 14 176 15 88 16 40 17 1

About one half of the names consist of six to eight characters. There is a certain overabundance of names consisting of four characters. This is due to an old rule to assign planets a four-letter name if their orbital elements have exceptional characteristics. This rule is now rarely applied. With an increasing number of names difficulties arise when names are too similar. We therefore observe a slight trend towards longer names. This will in part be compensated by the proposal to

Introduction

limit concatenated or contrived names of people to 12 characters. The names may be classified, of course, according to many different criteria. We decided to arrange groups of countries and groups of free classification. Names dedicated to countries, cities, rivers, buildings, etc., can be classified very easily. There may be difficulties, for example, in assigning names of astronomers, artists, or other people to only one country if they happen to have worked in several different ones. Names from mythology cannot be assigned to a particular country. Names given in honor of a discoverer’s relatives were, as a rule, not classified by countries. Nevertheless, as can be seen in Appendix 7 (see DMPN 5th Ed.), the statistics on classifications is quite informative. There is a clear predominance of the ‘great powers’ in the field of minor planets: names that can be definitely assigned to a country come mainly from the USA or the former USSR, followed by Japan, Germany, France, Italy and the Czech and Slovak Republics. The USA and especially Japan became outstanding only during the last decades. The USSR and Germany owe their ranking mainly to the observatories at Sime¨ıs/CrAO, Heidelberg, and Tautenburg, respectively. The preponderance of countries from the Northern Hemisphere is striking. After the publication of the first edition of this “Dictionary” some very useful papers dealing with name classifications have been appeared. Combes (1993) pub-

––––– ––––– 3846 –– 2459 ––––– ––––– ––––––

lished a very interesting list with free classification criteria. Schmadel (1992) compiled a special catalogue of astronomers belonging to the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Special investigations concerning names with close relations to certain countries have been undertaken by Meeus (1988), Denoyelle (1995/96), Schnell and Haupt (1996), and by Haupt and Hahn (2007). Classification according to other criteria is not so straightforward. After several attempts we found 19 rough categories which came up rather automatically. In this way more than 96% of all names could be classified, compared to only 82% according to a classification based on country. A first analysis shows that the names of minor planets do not reflect an ‘astronomers’ cemetery,’ a ‘female sky,’ or even an ‘Iliad sphere,’ as has often been suggested. There are, however, periods during which the naming could be so described. Mythological names predominated only in the first three quarters of the 19th century. Later, classical names were almost exclusively invoked for the Trojans. These are divided (with some unfortunate mistakes) into groups of Greek besiegers and their Trojan opponents. The Trojan planets are distinguished by their 1:1 resonance with Jupiter. They were given male names in contrast to the normal, ‘female’ planets. This anti-feminine character shows as well in the clear preponderance of male names to female names, in the ratio of 4 to 1: as far as naming minor planets is concerned, emancipation has not yet been very successful.

Introduction The suspicion that a cemetery for astronomers has been founded cannot be substantiated either, since only a bare quarter of all names refers to this profession. Appendix 6 (see DMPN 5th Ed.) shows that many other scientists have been honored, and the list of amateur astronomers is also remarkable. The list of names referring to relatives of the discoverer have decreased considerably in comparison to the figures from earlier editions. As an analogy to characters from classical mythology, genealogical tables can be reproduced. An example with the names of relatives suggested by the discoverer couple Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker is given in Fig. 2. Without going into details we see that spouses of the patrons prevail over their children as well as over their parents. It is much easier for a grandchild to become astronomically immortal than it is for a grandparent. And the uncles and aunts of the discoverers are much less represented than their friends. A quickly increasing group is given by the amateur astronomers as well as famous scientists outside of the field of astronomy. Distinguished musicians, painters, and writers constitute a substantial group of names. Dramatists and novelists are still prevailing in the group of intellectuals, but musicians and composers are coming up rapidly. One can also try to find out if a particular discoverer tends towards names in particular categories. One can see personal preferences very clearly, but trends common to many discoverers only rarely. Today, plants and animals are seldom chosen, whereas acronyms and abbreviations are in fashion. Somewhat to our regret, there are not many entries in the category of curiosities. This is a wide field for imaginative discoverers. Planets named in honor of famous contemporaries can be further analyzed and arranged into subcategories. This is shown for two groups. Appendices 8 and 9 give lists of Nobel laureates and of IAU officers who gave reason for being honored with a planet’s name. Remarkably, not only physics prize-holders were honored. Considering the great number of all Nobel laureates, this list is rather short. This is very different from the list of astronomers who were once officers in the IAU, the discoverers’ professional representation. Here we find nearly no gaps and one can assume that remaining ones will soon be filled.

Sources of Information During the second half of the 19th century, the AN were the leading resource in this regard, because they appeared promptly and were distributed widely. The AN were both a scientific journal and a data base. Contributions taken from this source are referred to here

by ‘AN,’ followed by the number of the volume and the column, as well as by the year. All other journals are referred to by the system of abbreviations used in Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts. Concurrently with the AN, the BAJ gained a central importance. Reports on current affairs were often published in the Circulars of the BAJ; for these, we use the abbreviation ‘BAJ Circ.,’ followed by the serial number and the year. We, frequently, also use the IAU Circulars as well as the Central Bureau Electronic Telegrams with abbreviations ‘IAUC’ and ‘CBET’, respectively. Two series of informative papers have taken over the role of these journals as distributors of data about minor planets since 1926, namely the RI and its successor, the MPC. From 1926 until the end of World War II, the ARI, Berlin, edited special circulars publishing observations, orbital elements, namings, etc. Every astronomer working in this field knows these circulars as ‘RI’, an abbreviation for ‘Rechen-Institut.’ When the Minor Planet Center was founded after World War II, the function of the RI was taken over by the Minor Planet Circulars. This dictionary refers to the MPC by the letter ‘M,’ followed by the appropriate number. Starting in 2000, the Minor Planet Center established a new series, the Minor Planet Circulars Orbit Supplements, announcing new numberings and orbits. In this book we are using the abbreviation ‘MPO’ with a following number. A relation between the ‘M’ or ‘MPO’ number and the respective publication date is given in an appendix. This table facilitates the evaluation of the naming and numbering times, respectively. An important source of information has been the compilation The Names of the Minor Planets, edited by Paul Herget and published by the Cincinnati Observatory (1955, 1968). It reports not only on discovery circumstances but also gives explanations to the names of numerous minor planets, with reference to the astronomers who contributed to the explanations of these names. We took over, partly revised and completed a great part of the notes published by Herget. This is shown in the dictionary by the letter ‘H,’ followed by the page number. On the matter of names from classical mythology, we sometimes quote Zimmermann (1964), referred to by the letter ‘Z’ followed by the appropriate page number. The bibliographical data contained in the references include other important publications which were very helpful for the description and explanation of names. In many cases, colleagues gave helpful comments. Such private communications to the author (LDS) are not mentioned explicitly; instead, the names of these colleagues are given in parentheses, following the relevant citations. Generally, any information not provided in the original sources has been included in braces.
