Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory, on photographic plates taken by Dutch–American astronomer Tom Gehrels at the U.S Palomar Observatory, California.[8] It was later named after Dutch astronomer Peter van de Kamp.[2]

Orbit and classification

The

Heidelberg Observatory in 1927. Its first used observation was taken at Goethe Link Observatory in 1956, extending the body's observation arc by 4 years prior to its official discovery observation.[8]

Palomar–Leiden survey

The

survey designation "P-L" stands for Palomar–Leiden, named after Palomar Observatory and Leiden Observatory, which collaborated on the fruitful Palomar–Leiden survey in the 1960s. 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 minor planets.[9]
