Brian Dale Warner (born 1952) is an American amateur astronomer and computer programmer. In 2006 he was awarded the inaugural Chambliss Amateur Achievement Award by the American Astronomical Society.[1][2]
From the 1990s to 2011 Warner operated from the Palmer Divide Observatory at his home near Colorado Springs, Colorado.[3][4][1] Since 2011 he has operated from the Palmer Divide Station Шаблон:Obscode at the Center for Solar System Studies in Landers, California.[5]
Warner's astronomy has included extensive use of photometry to record the light curves of asteroids and variable stars.[1] His identification of five pairs of binary asteroids in the main belt contributed to the abandonment of the theory that binary asteroids only form through tidal interactions with planets.[6][2] He discovered the asteroids 70030 Margaretmiller, 34366 Rosavestal and 34398 Terryschmidt.Шаблон:Sfn
Warner is the developer of the Minor Planet Observer (MPO) suite of astronomy software used for photometry observations of asteroids and variable stars.[7][8] He also authored the 2006 book A Practical Guide to Lightcurve Photometry and Analysis, published by Springer, on using photometry to study asteroids and variable stars.[7]
Warner studied undergraduate physics at the University of Colorado. In 2005 he was awarded a master's degree in astronomy from James Cook University in Queensland, Australia.[2][9][6]
The Шаблон:Convert wide main belt asteroid 8734 Warner is named in his honor.[10][11]
