1986 AH. Discovered 1986 Jan. 9 by C. S. Shoemaker and E. M. Shoemaker at Palomar.
Named in honor of the Jedicke family, notably Peter, Robert and June. One of Canada’s best known amateur astronomers, Peter Jedicke is a superb teacher of astronomy and physics, especially to young people. His brother Robert, a physicist, observes with the Spacewatch survey for near-earth objects. Although sister June Zehr has not followed in her siblings’ astronomical footsteps, she often shares observing sessions with her brothers. (M 25444)
