(234750) Amymainzer is an asteroid of the outer main asteroid belt that was discovered on July 8, 2002 as part of Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) at the Palomar Observatory ( IAU code 644).
The mean diameter of (234750) Amymainzer was calculated to be 7.533 (± 0.205) km, the albedo as 0.022 (± 0.003).
The asteroid was named at the suggestion of Harald Bill after Amy Mainzer , an American astronomer , who referred to her important contribution to asteroid discovery in the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer ( WISE ) project. Mainzer finally took over the overall management of this project at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2011 . There she is also responsible for the Near-Earth Object Camera , a space telescope planned to capture near-earth, potentially dangerous asteroids to the target.
