(14600) Gainsbourg is an asteroid located in the main central belt . It was discovered on September 21, 1998 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809). The asteroid had already been sighted: in 1960 under the provisional designation 4862 PL as part of the Palomar-Leiden Survey and on February 23, 1987 (1987 DN 3 ) at the French Observatoire de Calern .
According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), Gainsbourg was assigned to the taxonomic class of C asteroids in a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel (14600) .
(14600) Gainsbourg was named on November 14, 2016 after the French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg (1928-1991). The song “Sous le soleil exactement”, which he wrote, was particularly emphasized in the dedication.
