(9812) Danco
Emile Danco (1869-1898), who participated in the Antarctic expedition of Adrien de Gerlache, was responsible for the photography and observation of geomagnetism. He died during the trip, and his body was buried at sea near a newly discovered land, named Dancoland.Discovered 18 September 1998 by E. W. Elst, La Silla
(14400) Baudot
Jean-Maurice-Emile Baudot (1845-1903) invented a telegraphic code in 1874 that encoded each letter of the alphabet as a series of “on-or-off” signals. Because each signal has the same duration, this system is more efficient than Morse code, and it still used in telecommunications today. The name was suggested by R. S. McMillan.Discovered 16 November 1990 by E. W. Elst, La Silla
(15052) Emileschweitzer
Emile Schweitzer (b. 1923) was for 25 years president of the Association Françoise des Etoiles Variables. He collected and checked more than a million visual estimates of variable stars for the association's quarterly bulletin and worked with much dedication to develop this useful field of amateur astronomy.Discovered 17 December 1998 by ODAS, Caussols
(19400) Emileclaus
Flemish painter Emile Claus (1849-1924) was well known for his landscapes, especially from and around the Lys river.

(27947) Emilemathieu
Emile Léonard Mathieu (1835-1890) was an applied mathematician who worked on potential theory, elasticity, capillarity and celestial mechanics. He introduced the “Mathieu functions”, which are solutions of the two-dimensional wave equation for the motion of an elliptic membrane.Discovered 9 July 1997 by P. G. Comba, Prescott
(29613) Charlespicard
Charles-Emile Picard (1856-1941) was a French mathematician and educator who worked primarily in mathematical analysis and algebraic geometry. His name is associated with a theorem that clarifies the behavior of an analytic function in the vicinity of an isolated essential singularity.Discovered 16 September 1998 by P. G. Comba, Prescott
