(65685) Behring is an asteroid of the middle main belt that was discovered by the German astronomers Freimut Börngen and Lutz D. Schmadel on October 10, 1990 at the Tautenburg Observatory ( IAU code 033) in the Thuringian Tautenburg Forest .
According to the AstDyS-2 database, the asteroid belongs to the Zdenekhorsky family, a group of asteroids named after (3827) Zdeněkhorský . According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (65685) Behring assumed a dark surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be trade a C asteroid .
The timeless (not osculating ) orbital elements of (65685) Behring are almost identical to those of two potentially larger asteroids, when speaking of the absolute brightness emanating from 15.2 and 15.4, compared to 15.5: (111118) 2001 VZ 87 and (152343) 2005 UW 73 .
The track from (65685) Behring was secured in 2003 so that numbering could be assigned. At the suggestion of Freimut Börngen, the asteroid was named after the German bacteriologist and serologist Emil von Behring , the first recipient of the Nobel Prize for Medicine (1901). The naming of the asteroid became generally valid by publication on January 7, 2004. A lunar crater in the southern lunar hemisphere was named after Emil von Behring as early as 1979 : lunar crater "von Behring" .
