Lieber Bernd

Many congratulations. Now when people call you a star, you truly are! OK, so it 
is not a star but a dwarf planet, but you are a giant of the meteorite 
community.

Hello List,

Can you imagine my surprise when Rob Matson emailed me and told me that I would 
be honored with something very special for my birthday last May 12. He had done 
a bit of pre-planning regarding the wording of the citation and had got the 
help from a few people notably Dorothy Norton, John Kashuba, Bob and Moni 
Verish - all of whom (including Rob Matson himself, of course!) I want to thank 
very, very much.

I am truly honored to be wandering among the stars while still roaming 
terrestrial fields! I am deeply touched to orbit the Sun together with such 
celebrities as our late O.R. Norton [(163800) Richardnorton], his wife Dorothy 
Norton [(149243) Dorothynorton = 2002 RL239], my late friend Jim Kriegh [149244 
Kriegh], alongside our esteemed Geoff Notkin [(132904) Notkin = 2002 RB237], 
just to name a few.

The minor planet (247553) 2002 RV234 is a member of the Hilda family.
Hildas are in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter, i.e. they complete 3 orbits 
for every two Jovian orbits. They have dark surfaces, are rich in organics and 
contain water. CI and CM meteorites are believed to originate in these types of 
asteroids.

My little asteroid is about 6.5 km in diameter, and, assuming an average 
density of 2.1 g/cm^3 for CI/CM chondrites, this would amount to a mass of 
about 3 x 10^11 metric tons (300 billion metric tons).
Most of this detailed info was provided by Rob Matson!

Here is the PDF-link to the Minor Planet Circular:

http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/ECS/MPCArchive/2013/MPC_20130722.pdf

Just enter my family name and you'll find me at the top of the second column of 
page 231 of that Circular.

Thank you very much for this
honor bestowed on me,

Bernd

 that I would be honored with something very special for my birthday last
 May 12. He had done a bit of pre-planning regarding the wording of the
 citation and had got the help from a few people notably Dorothy Norton,
 John Kashuba, Bob and Moni Verish – all of whom (including Rob Matson
 himself, of course!) I want to thank very, very much.
 
 I am truly honored to be wandering among the stars while still roaming
 terrestrial fields! I am deeply touched to orbit the Sun together with such
 celebrities as our late O.R. Norton [(163800) Richardnorton], his wife
 Dorothy Norton [(149243) Dorothynorton = 2002 RL239], my late friend
 Jim Kriegh [149244 Kriegh], alongside our esteemed Geoff Notkin [(132904)
 Notkin = 2002 RB237], just to name a few.
 
 The minor planet (247553) 2002 RV234 is a member of the Hilda family.
 Hildas are in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter, i.e. they complete 3
 orbits for every two Jovian orbits. They have dark surfaces, are rich in
 organics and contain water. CI and CM meteorites are believed to originate
 in these types of asteroids.
 
 My little asteroid is about 6.5 km in diameter, and, assuming an average
 density of 2.1 g/cm^3 for CI/CM chondrites, this would amount to a mass
 of about 3 x 10^11 metric tons (300 billion metric tons).
 Most of this detailed info was provided by Rob Matson!
 
 Here is the PDF-link to the Minor Planet Circular:
 
 http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/ECS/MPCArchive/2013/MPC_20130722.pdf
 
 Just enter my family name and you’ll find me at the top
 of the second column of page 231 of that Circular.
 
 Thank you very much for this
 honor bestowed on me,
 
 Bernd

 celebrities as our late O.R. Norton [(163800) Richardnorton], his wife
 Dorothy Norton [(149243) Dorothynorton = 2002 RL239], my late friend
 Jim Kriegh [149244 Kriegh], alongside our esteemed Geoff Notkin [(132904)
 Notkin = 2002 RB237], just to name a few.
 
 The minor planet (247553) 2002 RV234 is a member of the Hilda family.
 Hildas are in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter, i.e. they complete 3
 orbits for every two Jovian orbits. They have dark surfaces, are rich in
 organics and contain water. CI and CM meteorites are believed to originate
 in these types of asteroids.
 
 My little asteroid is about 6.5 km in diameter, and, assuming an average
 density of 2.1 g/cm^3 for CI/CM chondrites, this would amount to a mass
 of about 3 x 10^11 metric tons (300 billion metric tons).
 Most of this detailed info was provided by Rob Matson!
 
 Here is the PDF-link to the Minor Planet Circular:

 Just enter my family name and you’ll find me at the top
 of the second column of page 231 of that Circular.
 
 Thank you very much for this
 honor bestowed on me,
 
 Bernd

Bernd,
Congratulations! I don't know you personally, only through this
