(7833) Nilstamm Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 19 March 1993 by UESAC at La Silla.
Nils Tamm (1876-1957) studied at Uppsala University in the late 19th century and later at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm. At his private observatory he made observations of variable stars, and he also discovered several novae. His donation made the building of the Kvistaberg Observatory possible.Naming citation (20000320/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
