As minor planet discoveries are confirmed, they are given a permanent number by the IAU's Minor Planet Center (MPC), and the discoverers can then submit names for them, following the IAU's naming conventions. The list below concerns those minor planets in the specified number-range that have received names, and explains the meanings of those names.
Based on Paul Herget's The Names of the Minor Planets,[6] Schmadel also researched the unclear origin of numerous asteroids, most of which had been named prior to World War II. This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the public domain: SBDB New namings may only be added to this list below after official publication as the preannouncement of names is condemned.[7] The WGSBN publishes a comprehensive guideline for the naming rules of non-cometary small Solar System bodies.[8]
Padma Yanmandra-Fisher (born 1957) is a senior research scientist for the Space Science Institute (formerly at JPL), studying light interactions in various media (planetary atmospheres, rings, comets and the solar corona), while expanding scientific outreach and professional-citizen collaboration in astronomy.
László Bíró (1899–1985), Hungarian inventor of the easy-to-use writing implement generally known as the "biro" in Britain and the ballpoint pen in the U.S.
Valérie Ferrarini (born 1968) is an amateur astronomer from the south of France. She is a member of the Astronomes Amateurs Aixois de l'Observatoire de Vauvenargues.
Yoko Ono (born 1933) is an iconic figure in avant-garde and performance art in the late 20th and early 21st century. Her work encompasses both visual and musical arts, the latter including notable collaborations with her husband John Lennon. Ono has also advocated tirelessly for peace for over fifty years.
Xavier Barcons (born 1959) is a Spanish physicist and Director General of the European Southern Observatory. Barcons' research has been focused on astronomy in the X-ray wavelengths for the study of distant quasar spectra.
Genoveffa Balducci (born 1954) is an Italian surgeon and Director of Emergency Surgery at the Sant'Andrea hospital in Rome. A general surgery lecturer at "La Sapienza" University of Rome, he is the author of about 200 scientific publications.
Charles Howard ("Howie") Glatter (1946–2017), was a very talented New York-based entrepreneur who developed and manufactured some of astronomy's most sought after state-of-the art collimation tools. He was also an inventor of several other innovative astronomy products that advanced amateur astronomy.
