Georgpeuerbach (minor planet designation: 9119 Georgpeuerbach) is an asteroid in the main asteroid belt, discovered by Erich Meyer, Erwin Obermair and Herbert Raab in 1998.

Classification and orbit

The asteroid is a member of the main-belt objects. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.74–3.35 AU once every 5 years and 4 months (1,939 days).[1]

Naming

Named in memory of Georg Aunpekh von Peuerbach (1423-1461), professor at the University of Vienna, astronomer at the court of emperor Friedrich III, mathematician, poet, early humanist and teacher of Regiomontanus. He discovered the magnetic declination, introduced sines into trigonometry and invented the foldable sundial, the first trustworthy pocket timepiece. Named on the occasion of the unveiling of a memorial tablet on St. Stephan's cathedral in Vienna, where Peuerbach is buried.[2]
