List of minor planet discoverers

This is a list of all astronomers who are credited by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) with the discovery of one or several minor planets.^[1] A second table lists all institutional discoverers of minor planets such as observatories and surveys (see § Discovering dedicated institutions). As of June 2017, the MPC credits a total of 495,827 numbered minor planets to 1,009 astronomers and 233 dedicated institutions, respectively.

For a detailed description of the table's content, see § Notes.

Notes

The discovery table consist of the following fields:

Astronomers and Institutions: links to the corresponding article about the discovering astronomer or institution on Wikipedia. If not linked, the displayed name should be a redirect to this list. For example the page Masanao Abe forwards to the anchored table row List of minor planet discoverers § M. Abe using the astronomer's MPC-name as ID.
Discoveries: displays the total number of discovered and co-discovered minor planets made by the discoverer (numbered bodies only). It links to the corresponding "Discovery by..." category, which are subcategories of Category:Discoveries by astronomer and Category:Astronomical discoveries by institution, respectively. Note that these categories do not contain discoveries for which no page on Wikipedia exists. Astronomers with only a few discoveries often do not have their own discovery-category (redlinks). There are typically no linked categories for astronomers with an unknown first name.
DOB–DOD and Observatory code: displays the date of birth and death for astronomers, and alphanumeric IAU code(s) for institutions, respectively.
Country: nationality of the astronomer or location of the discovering dedicated institution, respectively. Some discoverers have assigned two flags, with the first being the most appropriate to allow for a sensible sorting by country.
Link-label; info, links and notes: The link-label is used for piped discoverer links, intended for a consistent usage in minor-planet object articles and in the List of minor planets (see index). After the link-label, additional information is given: this includes links to external sources (Src), links to the MPC database (see here) for a specific numbered object—which was discovered by, or named after the discoverer, and possible trans-wiki links to existing articles in foreign languages, mostly in French, German or Italian. Note that the link-label should be separated by a semi-colon from all other information.
Name(s) at MPC: displays the name of the discoverer as used by the MPC (non-diacritical version; where the abbreviated first name is written before the family name). Some discoverers have multiple names due to inconsistencies and typos. For example, the MPC credits some discoveries made by § Spacewatch to Sapcewatch and Spacwatch such as in MPC and MPC, respectively.
Class (Cls): displays an icon for the discoverer-article's quality: redirect page, stub article, start article, C-class article, B-class article, A-class article, and for sectional redirects, i.e. the discoverer has their own section within another article.
