François Gonnessiat

François Gonnessiat (May 22, 1856 (Nurieux-Volognat)–October 18, 1934) was a French astronomer, observer of comets and discoverer of two minor planets.[2][3]

He worked at the Observatory of Lyon. In 1889 he won the Lalande Prize for astronomy from the French Academy of Sciences; 1901 became director of the Quito (Ecuador) Observatory for the purpose of making geodetic measurements. He became a well known and respected member of the academic scene of the city, where a street is named after him. From 1908 to 1931, he was director of the Algiers Observatory where one of his colleagues was Benjamin Jekhovsky.[3] He was also director of the Quito Astronomical Observatory.[2]

The asteroid 1177 Gonnessia was named in his memory (Шаблон:Small).[2]

Obituary

  • The obituary notice incorrectly states that he was director of the Algiers Observatory only until 1916,[3] rather than 1931.[4]
