(864) Aase is an asteroid of the main belt that was discovered on September 30, 1921 by the German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth in Heidelberg .
The asteroid was named after the figure of the same name from Henrik Ibsen's work Peer Gynt .
(864) Aase originally referred to another asteroid called (1078) Mentha . The latter was mistakenly given two designations, as it was discovered once by Wolf in 1917, where it was given the provisional designation A917 CB, and again in 1926 by Reinmuth, where it was given the provisional designation 1926 XB and was not recognized as identical to A917 CB. A917 CB eventually became (864) Aase, and 1926 XB became (1078) Mentha. In 1958 the two objects were found to be identical and in 1974 this was eliminated with the A917 CB / 1926 XB keeping the designation (1078) Mentha and the designation (864) Aase being transferred to the object 1921 KE which it is referred to today.
