(121022) Galliano is an asteroid located in the inner main belt that was discovered on January 20, 1999 as part of the OCA-DLR Asteroid Survey (ODAS), a project of the OCA (Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur) and the DLR ( German Center for Aerospace ), was discovered at the 90 cm Schmidt telescope of the French Observatoire de Calern ( IAU code 910).
The asteroid belongs to the Polana family (named after (142) Polana ), a subgroup of the Nysa group (named after (44) Nysa ). The Nysa group is also called the Hertha family (after (135) Hertha ). What all members of the families and groups mentioned have in common is that the orbits around the sun are in 2: 1 resonance with those of the planet Mars and are therefore stable over a longer period of time. The ageless (not osculating ) orbital elements of (121022) Galliano are almost identical with the smaller (when one of the absolute brightness of 18.2 compared to 16.7 emanates) asteroids (457,656) 2009 CJ 41 .
(121022) Galliano was named on September 9, 2014 after the French accordionist Richard Galliano (* 1950), who was originally inspired by Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992). The asteroid (12102) Piazzolla was named after Piazzolla in 2012 . It is no coincidence that the asteroid (121022) 1999 BR 13 was chosen for Galliano: (12102) Piazzolla with a 2 in an additional decimal place.
