(4612) Greenstein
Named in honor of Jesse Greenstein (b. 1909), an expert in stellar spectroscopy with many discoveries concerning low-luminosity stars, white dwarfs, stellar chemical compositions and stellar evolution. In addition, Greenstein established and guided, during its first two decades, the astronomy department at the California Institute of Technology. As a statesman of science policy he was influential in the early history of radioastronomy in the United States, as well as in the early history of AURA. His friends and colleagues heartily endorse this naming. Citation prepared by J. Cohen.Discovered 2 May 1989 by E. F. Helin, Palomar
(8001) Ramsden
Jesse Ramsden (1735-1800) was the British designer and producer of highly accurate sextants, theodolites and other instruments.

Ticha on seeing this instrument during the Asteroids 2001 conference.Discovered 4 October 1986 by A. Mrkos, Klet
(15594) Castillo
Named in honor of Jesse L. Castillo for achievement as a finalist in the 2001 Discovery Young Scientist Challenge (DYSC), a middle school science competition. Jesse is a student at the Bernalillo Middle School, Bernalillo, New Mexico.Discovered 6 April 2000 by LINEAR, Socorro
(19570) Jessedouglas
Jesse Douglas (1897-1965) was an American mathematician who first gave a general solution to the problem of Plateau: to prove the existence of a surface of least area bounded by a given contour. The problem had been worked on by many outstanding mathematician, including Riemann and Weierstrass.Discovered 13 June 1999 by P. G. Comba, Prescott

(211375) Jessesteed
Jesse Steed (1977-2013) was one of the 19 elite Prescott's Granite Mountain Hotshot firefighters who lost their lives battling a blaze on a ridge in Yarnell, AZ.
