Antonio Vagnozzi (born 1950) is an amateur Italian astronomer and a discoverer of asteroids.[2][3]
Astronomical career
Vagnozzi is credited by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) with the discovery of 46 minor planets during 1993–1999.[1] In 1993, he was Italy's first amateur astronomer (and the second discoverer worldwide) to discover a minor planet using a CCD camera. (The first numbered CCD-based discovery was 4255 Spacewatch, which was discovered by the Spacewatch project in 1986).[3]
He also searches for supernovae and is a co-discoverer of SN 1996ae.[3][4]
Awards and honors
The main-belt asteroid 7529 Vagnozzi was named in his honor.[3] The official naming citation was published by the MPC on 11 April 1998 (M.P.C. 31611).[5]
