(13830) ARLT Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 4 December 1999 by C. W. Juels at Fountain Hills.
The ARLT (Automatic Radio-Linked Telescope), a 0.44-m f/4.5 Newtonian located 40 km from Silver City, New Mexico, was one of the first remotely controlled automated CCD imaging facilities. Some 20~000 images obtained during 1991-1997 contributed to 22 publications or formal presentations.Naming citation (20010309/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
