(16564) Coriolis is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 30 January 1992 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory ( IAU code 809) in Chile was discovered.
The asteroid was named on November 9, 2006 after the French mathematician and physicist Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792-1843), after whom the Coriolis force was named and who is immortalized by name on the Eiffel Tower as one of 72 scientists and engineers .
The celestial body belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semi-axes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
