(37223) Devillepoix Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 20 November 2000 by LONEOS at Anderson Mesa.
Hadrien Devillepoix (b. 1990) is an Australian astronomer. He pioneered the creation and analysis of massive datasets of fireball orbits to better understand small-body source regions in the solar system. He has worked to coordinate the efforts of the planetary science and astronomy communities to their mutual benefit.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #9, 37), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
