This minor planet, named on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the University of Sofia, of wich he is considered the patron, is testament to Ohridski’s influence on Bulgarian science and culture.
Named in honor of Elisabeth Völk (1946-), secretary at the European Southern Observatory’s headquarters in Garching, where she is chiefly responsible for the administration of the ESO Schmidt plates.
The palace was substantially altered by Louis XV, and it is known for its magnificent gardens and ‘Salle du jeu de paume’.

 8652 Acacia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Asteroid 8652 Acacia was discovered on March 2, 1990, at the European Southern Observatory near Pedernales, Coquimbo, Chile, by Eric W. Elst.
Elst named the asteroid for the acacia tree(genus Acacia).
The word "acacia" comes from the Greek akakia, meaning "nothing bad." It is the Greek word for the Biblical shittah, a tree which hasn't been positively identified but which was probably the acacia; it furnished the wood from which the Hebrew tabernacle was made.

 phot-36-96.html
On August 7, 1996, Eric W. Elst (Royal Observatory, Uccle, Belgium) reported his discovery of a cometary image on mid-July exposures by Guido Pizarro with the 1.0-m ESO Schmidt telescope at the La Silla Observatory.
Further ESO Schmidt plates were then obtained, and on August 19, with the help of orbital computations by Brian Marsden (IAU Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams, Cambridge, Mass., USA), Elst was able to identify the object on them.
Even though the orbit (Period = 5.6 years; inclination = 1.4 deg; eccentricity = 0.17) is entirely characteristic of that of a main-belt minor planet with the implied long-term orbital stability, the continued presence of a tail seemingly confirms the object as a 'comet'.

 Henry Hsieh - 133P/Elst-Pizarro
These orbits also tend to be more highly inclined than that of most main belt asteroids.
EP was discovered in 1979 as a perfectly ordinary main belt asteroid (with a prototypically low eccentricity and low inclination) and was largely ignored until 1996 when Eric Elst and Guido Pizarro serendipitously discovered a long thin dust trail emanating from the object.
Analysis of this and further observations of the trail revealed that the dust had likely been emanating from EP for many months, making it difficult to explain the activity as a consequence of a simple impact.

 Press Information Sheet on two unusual objects: 1996 PW and C/1996 N2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
His latest computation of the orbit has the object currently at its closest to the sun and located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, although at the outer extreme of its 7000-year-period orbit 1996 PW moves out to more than 20 times the distance of Neptune.
"Comet" 1996 N2 was identified by Eric Elst at the Belgian Royal Observatory in Brussels on photographs taken by Guido Pizarro at the European Southern Observatory in Chile.
The object's tail, present on these photographs, has been fully confirmed on electronic images by several observers, who are not, however, able to detect the fuzzy head or coma that comets usually show.

Four years ago astronomers may have caught a glimpse of Phaethon's past while they were monitoring another asteroid: Elst-Pizarro.
"In July 1996 Eric Elst called us from the European Southern Observatory and reported a strange object (in the direction of the asteroid belt)," recalled Marsden.
There was no tail in those photos and by 1997 the tail Elst saw a year earlier was gone."
