Guillaume Scholl (b. 1987) tested early versions of an automatic code for detecting minor planets developed by his father, astronomer Hans Scholl of the Observatoire de la Côte d´Azur. As a result, recent versions of the code are more user friendly.Naming citation (20000523/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
