(28798) Audreymartin Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 25 April 2000 by LONEOS at Anderson Mesa.
Audrey Martin (b. 1991) is an American planetary spectroscopist who studies the effects of regolith properties on thermal infrared spectra. She uses thermal infrared laboratory data and telescopic spectra of asteroids, particularly Jupiter Trojans, to understand compositions and regolith structure.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #9, 11), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
