(31613) Adamgreenberg Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 10 April 1999 by LONEOS at Anderson Mesa.
Adam Greenberg (b. 1989) is an American astronomer. He made novel contributions to the fields of asteroid orbit determination and shape modeling. He advanced our understanding of the Yarkovsky effect by detecting Yarkovsky drifts for 247 asteroids. He also measured the size, shape, and orbit of asteroid (1566) Icarus.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #9, 20), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
