15262 Abderhalden, provisional designation 1990 TG4, is a carbonaceous Themistian asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 12 kilometers in diameter.
It was discovered by German astronomers
Lutz Schmadel at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in Tautenburg, eastern Germany, on 12 October 1990.[8] The asteroid was named after Swiss physiologist and biochemist Emil Abderhalden.[2]
Orbit and classification
Abderhalden is a member of the
Crimea–Nauchnij in 1978, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 12 years prior to its discovery.[8]
