designation
(2710) Veverka was named after the astronomer Joseph Veverka , who worked as a planetologist at Cornell University . As one of the first to study polarimetric and photometric properties of asteroids, he made significant contributions to our knowledge of small objects in the solar system , particularly in his detailed work on Phobos and Deimos . He studied the morphology and wind movement on the surface of Mars and was a strong proponent of space missions to comets .
