Dmitry Nikolayevich Chestnov (also known as Dmitrij Nikolaevič Čestnov; Russian: Дмитрий Николаевич Честнов) is a Russian astronomer, observer and photometrist of comets and discoverer of minor planets. He lives in Saransk, the capital city of the Republic of Mordovia, Russia. [2]

He is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of several minor planets during 2009–2010, all in collaboration with Russian astronomer and colleague Artyom Novichonok at Tzec Maun Observatory ( H10) in Mayhill, New Mexico. [1]

According to the Comet Observation database (COBS), which is maintained by the Slovenian Črni Vrh Observatory, Dmitry Chestnov has submitted dozens of observations of comets under his user code "CHE09". [3] [4] Several cometary observations, including those of the hyperbolic comet C/2009 O4 (HILL) he took at Tzec Maun's southern station ( D25) in Pingelly, Western Australia. [5] [6] He also participated in the recovery of periodic comet 246P/NEAT at the Kislovodsk Mountain Astronomical Station of Pulkovo Observatory ( D20) in November 2011 ( M.P.C. 72435). [7] [8] He has published a large number of secular lightcurves of comets on his Comet Light Curve Refinement Program (LiCuRG) website. [9]

His Apollo and Amor near-Earth object observations, published in MPC's Minor Planet Electronic Circulars during 2009–2011, include 2011 VW5 ( MPC), 2011 AO52 ( MPC), 2010 WB ( MPC), 2009 OC ( MPC), 2010 RP80 ( MPC), and 2010 JE88 ( MPC). [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
