C.-H. Chang?

[edit]

I strongly suspect the "C.-H. Chang" credited with discovering (5384) 1957 VA at Nanking is the same as Y. C. Chang a.k.a. Zhang Yùzhé. It wouldn't be the first typo in the MPC lists. Anyone care to prove or disprove?

I strongly doubt these could be the same person.
Have you confirmed that C.-H. stands for Chia-Hsiang? If so, Chang Chia-Hsiang is written like a name from Taiwan rather than a mainlander.

Chia-Hsiang is the name Dr. Schmadel has in his files for C.-H. Chang. The discovery was in Nanking in 1957.

I have found mention through Google of a ZHANG Jiaxiang (which is pinyin for Chia-Hsiang Chang) affiliated with Purple Mountain Observatory. This is probably the person. I couldn't find the Chinese characters for his name, I suppose we could contact pmo.ac.cn as a last resort. However he is probably retired by now and they might not have current information. -- Curps 18:55, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
