Named in honor of James B. Gibson, discoverer of the Amor object (1943) Anteros, one of the most accessible known neighbors of the Earth. His painstaking follow-up observations of periodic comets and newly-discovered minor planets and his search for lost objects have been conducted in California and Argentina during much of the past quarter of a century.
