Gustav Stracke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Stracke (born July 2, 1887 in Haßlinghausen , Westphalia , † August 1943 ) was a German astronomer .

Stracke was hired in 1911 as an employee at the Astronomical Computing Institute in Berlin-Dahlem . From 1920 he worked there as an observer. From 1926 he was a professor at this institute. Stracke made numerous suggestions for naming astronomical objects such as asteroids , many of which were implemented.

Asteroids named after Stracke

Stracke had asked that no asteroid should be named after him. Regardless of this, Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth named the asteroid (1019) discovered in 1924 Strackea in his honor. Reinmuth avoided the request several times: The name of the asteroid (1201) Strenua (from strictuus, Latin : efficient) referred to Stracke. He gave the asteroids 1227 to 1234 names, the first letter of which was G STRACKE .
