(13915) Yalow is an asteroid located in the central main belt , which was discovered on May 17, 1982 by the American astronomers Carolyn Shoemaker and Schelte John Bus at the Palomar Observatory ( IAU code 675) in California .
Mean distance from the Sun ( major semiaxis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid roughly correspond to the Dora family, a group of asteroids named after (668) Dora .
According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel subdivided all examined asteroids into C, S and V types (13915) Yalow assigned to the S asteroids .
The asteroid was named on April 27, 2002 after the US physicist and nuclear medicine specialist Rosalyn Sussman Yalow , who received the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for the development of radioimmunological methods for the determination of peptide hormones ".
