editFinished a Google Sweep, needs physical sources for more in depth info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.239.137 (talk) 23:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
References Added, University?, Table of discoveries, Incoming Links, Category page.
editI found some printed articles online from BBC, NASA, Science Daily, and Wired. Unfortunately, they mainly focus on one near earth object. I tried to find some more biographical information, but only found many repeats of what was on Wikipedia.
Has anyone found which University? UofA can mean Arizona, Alberta, Australia and others. It might not be important, but I am curious.
I visited the NASA small bodies database at http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi and hoped to generate a table of discoveries by Frank. But their interface does not include discoverer. I wrote to the webmaster there to ask if there is a way to generate a table of all discoveries for one discoverer.
I think the discoveries table should be linked to the NASA database as well as to wikipedia pages, if they exists. This can be done with links such as http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=8430+Florey. I am working to generate a table like that.
The current incoming links to this page are mostly from the list of minor planets pages like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_planets:_10001%E2%80%9311000
There is a Category page for discoveries by Frank B. Zoltowski, but it only has a few links in it. I added a couple for the existing wikipedia pages for his asteroids, but it seems redundant to generate pages for all the asteroids, when the much more detailed NASA database exists. I did put in a link to the category page, besides the one at the bottom, so people can see there is such a page associated with Frank B. Zoltowski, without having to scroll all the way to the bottom.

Minor Planet Center Database Links
editI got a note back from NASA small body database. They suggest using IAU Minor Planet Database for discover data. That is the source for NASA's data, for numbered asteroids. IAU might have more.
The direct link to the MPC database for a numbered asteroid is like

Authoritative list of Discoveries from Minor Planet Center
editI received a current listing of Frank B. Zolkowski's discoveries and contributions from the Minor Planet Center. I am copying the message and table here for the record. I checked the list against the current list in the article, and it is an exact match. Kudo's to whoever added the table for getting a current list. Thanks.
For checking this report against the existing list: An * on the line indicates discovery of a numbered object. There are 220 of these. An *N on the line indicates discovery of a numbered object, and a name has been assigned. There are 7 of these. Total discoveries is 227. I will leave for now, the other contributions indicated.

editThis is the latest version of the monthly DISCSTATUS report that we prepare for discoverers on request. Note that the MPC is the authority for, amongst many other things, discovery details, not JPL (this was hinted at in AC's reply to you, but it is worth stating explicitly).

This observer has discovered 227 numbered objects
7 of the numbered objects have been named
250 of the discoveries are identified with numbered minor planets
2 of the discoveries are involved in multiple-apparition orbits
2 of the discoveries are principal designations
2 of the one-opposition objects have >= 30-day arc orbits

NOTES ON INTERPRETING THIS REPORT
For each provisionally-designated object that you have discovered(*) the following information is displayed:
1) a monotonically-increasing count that has no significance other than to indicate the order in this list.
2) the provisional designation followed by the observer-assigned temporary designation. Occasionally the temporary designation will begin with '/' (e.g., /95Y03R) indicating that the observations were originally reported as belonging to some known object (in the example, 1995 YR3).
3) the principal designation if the object is involved in a double designation or identification. When the principal designation is a numbered object, the designation is followed by an asterisk if you are credited with the discovery of that numbered object. The asterisk is followed by 'N' if the object has been named.
4) if the numbered designation was assigned on or after 2010 Oct. 19 and the discoverer of the numbered object is not the same as the discoverer of the principal designation, then the asterisk is replaced with '+'.
5) details on the latest orbit available for the object. Most references will be to the MPCs. References that begin with 'E' refer to MPECs.
This list is intended to be complete through the latest batch of MPCs, supplemented with any Daily Orbit Update MPECs.
(*) For designations assigned on or after 2010 Oct. 19, please see MPEC 2010-U20 for information on how discovery credit will be assigned.

Correcting Discoverer
editThe Associate Director of the Minor Planet Center read the article and commented that Frank was probably not the discoverer of AN10. Rereading the articles, it is clear the MPC used Frank's information to refine estimates for closest approach distance and date. Correction made accordingly. RC711 (talk) 17:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
