Asteroids named after people called Tadeusz
馃懚 Tadeusz as a baby name
Named in honor of Tadeusz Micha艂owski (b. 1954), Polish astronomer at the Astronomical Observatory of Adam Mickiewicz University in Posnan. Micha艂owski developed a formalism for computing the pole orientation, shape and sidereal rotation period of a minor planet, incorporating both the magnitude and timing information contained in lightcurve observations, in a simultaneous least-squares solution. This method, or methods similar to it, are now widely used standard analysis tools, and they have greatly improved the quality of such determinations. Name suggested by H. Rickman, citation prepared by A. W. Harris.Discovered 19 September 1987 by E. Bowell, Anderson Mesa
