10251 Mulisch, provisional designation 3089 T-1, is a bright background
Cornelis van Houten at Leiden, and Tom Gehrels at Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The asteroid was named after Dutch writer Harry Mulisch.[1]
Orbit and classification
Mulisch is a non-
semi-major axis of 2.33 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.09 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.[2] The body's observation arc begins at Palomar on 26 March 1971, two nights prior to its official discovery observation.[1]
Palomar–Leiden Trojan survey
The
Palomar–Leiden Trojan survey, named after the fruitful collaboration of the Palomar and Leiden Observatory in the 1960s and 1970s. Gehrels used Palomar's Samuel Oschin telescope (also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope), and shipped the photographic plates to Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory where astrometry was carried out. The trio are credited with the discovery of several thousand asteroid discoveries.[5]
Physical characteristics
