(19400) Emileclaus is an asteroid of the main inner belt that was discovered on March 1, 1998 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809). There were unconfirmed sightings of the asteroid on October 7, 1989 under the provisional designation 1989 TJ 8 at the La Silla Observatory.
Mean distance from the sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid lie within the respective limit values that are defined for the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa (also called Hertha family, according to (135) Hertha ).
(19400) Emileclaus was named on June 7, 2009 after the Flemish painter Emile Claus , who is considered to be one of the pioneers of luminism and one of the main exponents of impressionism in Belgium. His painting Die Eisvögel from 1891 is particularly highlighted in the dedication .
