Hiroshi Kaneda
see § List of discovered minor planets |
Hiroshi Kaneda (金田 宏, Kaneda Hiroshi, born 1953) is a Japanese astronomer and discoverer of minor planets from Sapporo, in the northernmost prefecture of Japan.[2]
Kaneda ranks among the world's most prolific individual discoverers of minor planets. He is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the co-discovery of 705 numbered minor planets, between 1987 and 2000, all of them in collaboration with astronomer Seiji Ueda.[1] Along with being an astronomer, Kaneda works as a computer programmer and is a developer of astronomical software.[2]
The main-belt asteroid 4677 Hiroshi, discovered by Atsushi Takahashi and Kazurō Watanabe at Kitami in 1990, is named after him.[2]
