Pablo Cottenot
| 181 Eucharis | 2 February 1878 | MPC |
Pablo Cottenot was a 19th-century French astronomer and discoverer of a minor planet.
He worked at Marseille Observatory, but according to Édouard Stephan, Cottenot's astronomy career was brief.[2] He is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of one minor planet, the outer main-belt asteroid 181 Eucharis, which he named for a nymph of the goddess Calypso.[3]
