(9906) Tintoretto is an asteroid of the central main belt that was discovered on September 26, 1960 by the Dutch astronomer couple Cornelis Johannes van Houten and Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld . The discovery came about as part of the Palomar-Leiden survey , during which Tom Gehrels examined field plates recorded at the University of Leiden with the 120 cm Oschin Schmidt telescope of the Palomar observatory .
The asteroid belongs to the Eunomia family, a group named after (15) Eunomia , to which probably five percent of the asteroids in the main belt belong.
The mean diameter of (9906) Tintore was calculated to be 6.451 (± 0.211) kilometers and the albedo to be 0.268 (± 0.025).
(9906) Tintoretto was named on April 2, 1999 after the Venetian Renaissance painter Jacopo Robusti, known as Il Tintoretto . As early as 1976, an impact crater on the southern hemisphere of the planet Mercury was named after Tintoretto: Mercury crater Tintoretto .
