Irish named celestial objects

Folks - does anyone know of a definitive list of celestial objects named after Irish people, places, culture... ?

My own personal interest in (9929) McConnell has peaked my interest. I know of two other asteroids named after Irish astronomers:

(8515)Corvan
(16693)Moseley

Cheers

Dave

Dave, here's a few to be going on with!

Asteroid 6433 Enya after Irish singer Eithne Ni Braonain

Asteroid 10,502 ArmaghObs - provisional designation 1987 OT - in honor of Armagh Observatory's asteroid work

Asteroid 10,501 Ardmacha - provisional designation 1987 QF6 - old Irish name for Armagh - same reason as above

Asteroid 11450 Shearer - provisional designation 1979 QJ1 - after Irish astrophysicist Andrew Shearer

Asteroid 11451 AaronGolden - provisional designation 1979 QR1 - after Irish astrophysicist Aaron Golden

Asteroid 3753 Cruithne - provisional designation 1983 UH - after an ancient Irish tribe

.... and no Asteroid McDonald - after the Irish Drive-Thru Observatory! :lol:

Super - thanks Gordon! I remember the Enya one alright but the others are new to me.

Of course, if I were ever lucky enough, it would have to be (987654) Big Mac


Cheers!

Dave
