(5074) Goetzoertel is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 24 August 1949 under the Indiana Asteroid Program at Goethe Link Observatory ( IAU code 760) in Brooklyn in the State of Indiana was discovered.
The asteroid belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semiaxes 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.
(5074) Goetzoertel was named on November 10, 2003 after the German-American physicist and science manager Goetz Oertel (* 1934), who worked from 1985 to 1998 as President and Chief Executive of AURA , which runs the Hubble telescope , observatories and solar observatories in Arizona, New Mexico and Chile, recently also operates the Gemini telescopes in Hawaii and Chile.
