Tomáš Vorobjov (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈtɔmaːʂ ˈʋɔrɔbjɔw]; born 1984) is a Slovak amateur astronomer and an observer and discoverer of minor planets, in particular near-Earth objects.[2]
He is the director of the IASC Data Reduction Team[2] and is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of 9 numbered minor planets.[1]
In October 2012, Vorobjov discovered 276P/Vorobjov, a periodic comet and his first comet discovery.[3] He also discovered the trans-Neptunian object (TNO) (432949) 2012 HH2 in April 2012.[4]
