1986 TZ1. Discovered 1986 Oct. 7 by E. Bowell at Anderson Mesa.
Named in honor of Alice K. B. Monet (1954– ), an astronomer at the U.S. Naval Observatory’s Flagstaff Station and former chair of the Division on Dynamical Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society. Monet has made valuable astrometric observations of solar-system bodies in support of NASA’s Galileo and Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) missions. Using the 0.20-m transit telescope in an autonomous operating mode, she has generated, in part in collaboration with the discoverer, accurate astrometric data for many asteroids and comets. (M 27460; M 27477)
Name proposed by the discoverer following a suggestion by the JPL ephemeris group.
