1983 Bok
1983 Bok, provisional designation 1975 LB, is an asteroid from the main-belt that was discovered on June 9, 1975 by American astronomer Elizabeth Roemer at Steward Observatory of the University of Arizona, in Tucson, United States. The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.4–2.9 AU once every 4.24 years (1,550 days). It has a rotation period of 10.7 hours.〔〔
It is named after the Duch-born couple and astronomers Bart Bok and Priscilla Fairfield Bok, who studied the structure of the southern Milky Way and fostered astronomy in the Southern Hemisphere. It was the first minor planet discovered with the 90-inch Bok Telescope to be numbered. The asteroid was discovered at far southern declination.〔〔Lutz Schmadel's full naming citation for "1983 Bok" reads: "This is the first minor planet discovered with the 229-cm telescope of the Stewart Observatory to be numbered. It is named for the Boks in recognition of their role in bringing the large reflector of the Steward Observatory into operation and for their support of the astrometric work on comets, minor planets, and satellites. This minor planet was at far southern declination at discovery (and observations at Wellington were important in obtaining a reliable orbit). This is also in fitting association with the Boks, who have devoted much effort to study of the structure of the southern Milky Way and to encouragement of astronomy in the Southern Hemisphere.(M 4158) Name proposed by E. Roemer and A. C. Gilmore."〕
