Fabrizio Bernardi (born 1972) is an Italian astronomer and discoverer of minor planets and comets, best known for the co-discovery of the near-Earth and potentially hazardous asteroid 99942 Apophis. [2]

Contents

He is a member of the IAU, [3] and credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of 7 numbered minor planets during 2002–2005, [1] including 280244 Ati, another near-Earth object a member of the Amor group of asteroids, and (413666) 2005 VJ119 , a trans-Neptunian object. [4] In 2002, he discovered the outer main-belt asteroid 65001 Teodorescu at Campo Imperatore station, Gran Sasso, Italy, and named it after his former wife, the Romanian astronomer Ana Teodorescu. [5]

He was involved together with colleagues Marco Micheli and David Tholen, with observations of the Mars-crosser asteroid 2007 WD5 during his stay at the University of Hawaii observatory. [6] While at the Mauna Kea Observatories in Hawaii, he discovered 268P/Bernardi, a Jupiter family comet. [7] [8]

The main-belt asteroid 27983 Bernardi, discovered by astronomers Andrea Boattini and Maura Tombelli at Cima Ekar, was named in his honor on 9 November 2003 ( M.P.C. 50252). [2] [9]
