Named in honor of Hans Scholl {1942– }, former astronomer at the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, Heidelberg, now at Nice Observatory. Well known for his theoretical work on the orbits of minor planets, Scholl has investigated resonant motion in the outer belt and has studied a variety of particularly interesting orbits, including those of Aten and Chiron. His broad range of minor-planet research has also embraced problems from mass determination to asteroid missions and from libration to depletion. (M 8802)
