David Lincoln Rabinowitz (born 1960) is an Americanastronomer, discoverer ofminor planets and researcher atYale University.

Career

[edit]

David Rabinowitz has builtCCD cameras and software for the detection ofnear-Earth andKuiper belt objects,[1] and his research has helped reduce the assumed number of near-Earth asteroids larger than 1 km by half, from 1,000–2,000 to 500–1,000.[2] He has also assisted in the detection of distant solar system objects,supernovae, andquasars, thereby helping to understand the origin and evolution of theSolar System and thedark energy driving the acceleratedexpansion of the universe.

Collaborating withMichael Brown andChad Trujillo of theQuasar Equatorial Survey Team, he has participated in the discovery of several possibledwarf planets such as90377 Sedna (possibly the first known innerOort cloud object),90482 Orcus,[3]Eris (more massive thanPluto[4]),Haumea,[5] andMakemake,[6] though no-one would get credit for Haumea.

Together withTom Gehrels of theUniversity of Arizona and hisSpacewatch team, Rabinowitz discovered or co-discovered otherastronomical objects including5145 Pholus[7] – aCentaur, credited by theMPC toSpacewatch[8]– and the unnumbered Apollo near-Earth object1991 BA, which remains uncredited.[9]

Awards and honors

[edit]

The minor planet5040 Rabinowitz, aPhocaea asteroid discovered by Tom Gehrels at Palomar Observatory in 1972, was named in his honor and for his work at Spacewatch.[10]

1992AD is with a comet-like orbit of 92.26 years without a tail, which orbits between Saturn and Neptune. It was discovered by Rabinowitz in 1992 and was officially named Pholus. Another body that he discovered in 1993 was named Nessus with an orbit of 123.2 years. This one orbits between Saturn and Pluto.[12]
