August Kopff (February 5, 1882–April 25, 1960) was a German astronomer who discovered several comets and asteroids. He worked in Heidelberg, then joined the Humboldt University of Berlin where he became the Director of the Institute for Astronomical Calculation.[1]
He discovered some comets, including periodic comet 22P/Kopff[2] and the non-periodic C/1906 E1. He discovered a number of asteroids, including notably the Trojan asteroids 617 Patroclus and 624 Hektor.
The lunar crater Kopff is named after him, along with the asteroid 1631 Kopff.[1]
