(7330) Annelemaitre
Named in honor of Belgian mathematician Anne Lemaître (b. 1957) for her pioneering analytic studies of the dynamics of minor planets in mean-motion resonances. She has also investigated the process of adiabatic capture into resonance, and has computed accurate proper elements for objects with large orbital eccentricities and inclinations.
