Introduction

It is an asteroid discovered by Johann Palisa on October 3, 1910 with an estimated diameter of 13 km. It was named for Baroness Valentine Noémi von Rothschild (1886-1969) to celebrate her engagement to Baron Sigismund von Springer (1873-1927). Noémi von Rothschild's father, Baron Rothschild, had recently donated a stereocomparator to the Vienna Obsevatory.[1]
