(9611) Anouck Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 2 September 1992 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
Anouck Vrouwe (b. 1978) studied physics at Nijmegen, specializing later in scientific journalism. At Davros (Switzerland), she has been involved with the study of wind velocities in order to derive models for the prediction of avalanches.Naming citation (20030106/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
