Czech (?) to English translation, anyone?

[m-a-holmes]

I think the following official asteroid name citation is in Czech. Can somebody translate it to English for me, please?

Quotation begins.

Objevitel: P. Pravec
Datum objevu: 13. 6. 1996
Místo objevu: Ondřejov

Monika Pravcová (nar. 1976), sestra objevitele, a Tomáš Kneslík (nar. 1977) se do sebe zamilovali v roce objevu této planetky a vstoupili v manželství v roce 2000, kdy tato planetka dostala definitivní označení (číslo).

Planetka byla zařazena do našeho seznamu 31. 7. 2000, citace byla zveřejněna v MPC 41034 (26. 7. 2000), překlad -pp-]

Hi, i'm a Croat and my language is similar to Czech, so i'll give my best

"Announcer: P.Pravec
Date: .....
Place: ...

Monika Pravcová, the sister of the announcer, and Tomáš Kneslík fell in love with planets(i'm not sure about that) and they married, year 2000, when this planet obtain deffinitely signed. (number)

The planet was queued in our catalogue 31.7., citation was promulgated in MPC...

Dear planet in the solar system

Sorry, but this might be wrong in some parts...

[m-a-holmes]

Probably "discoverer" rather than "announcer." Sounds like the asteroid is named after P. Pravec's sister Monika Pravcová and brother-in-law Tomáš Kneslík on the occasion of their marriage in 2000, and maybe they're both into astronomy, too.

Thanks.

Objevitel is indeed discoverer. His sister and Tomas fell in love in the year of discovery and married in 2000 when the planet got its definitive number. In stead of 'dear planet...' it is 'route of the asteroid in the solar system'

[Nephilim]

you've been doing well...here's the (final) translation

(14517) Monitoma

Discoverer: P. Pravec
Date of discovery: 13. 6. 1996
Place/location of discovery: Ondřejov
basic designation/labelling/marking: 1996 LJ1

Monika Pravcová (born 1976), sister of the discoverer and Tomáš Kneslík (born 1977) fell in love the year that little planet was discovered and got married in 2000, the year that planet got (its) final ID (numer).

The asteroid was classified/filed/inserted in our registry on 31. 7. 2000, the citation/quotation was made public/brought out in MPC 41034 (26. 7. 2000), translation -pp-]

Course/route/path/way of the asteroid in the solar system

[Evi]

a great job!
just a little detail, I don't know a lot about this terminology but I guess for those who do planetka is maybe different to mala planeta? I mean the difference between asteroid and a planet, even if it's just a little one

[Nephilim]

no, nahodne umim cesky A I miluju astronomii...takze dle me, vsechno zalezi na velikosti toho asteroidu; obcas, kdyz je fakt pekne velkej, tak se snad da mluvit o male planetce, ne?

well, i happen to speak czech AND to love astronomy...so, according to me, it depends on the size of the asteroid; sometimes, when it's really pretty large, we could hopefully speak of a small planet, coulnd't we?

[Evi]

tak asi musime vyhledat jak je ta nase Monitoma velka

[Nephilim]

those who're interested in it can take a look at THIS PAGE, it's a great source of infos for astronomers...alas, it doesn't tell the GM (General/Global Mass) of our "planetoid"

ti, kterych to zajima, se muzou mrknout SEM...je to bezva zdroj informacii pro astronomy...bohuzel, ta stranka neuvadi GM (hmotnost) nase "planetky"

you've been doing well...here's the (final) translation

(14517) Monitoma

Discoverer: P. Pravec
Date of discovery: 13. 6. 1996
Place/location of discovery: Ondřejov
basic designation/labelling/marking: 1996 LJ1

Monika Pravcová (born 1976), sister of the discoverer and Tomáš Kneslík (born 1977) fell in love the year that little planet

More likely "minor planet," another name for "asteroid."

was discovered and got married in 2000, the year that planet got (its) final ID (numer).

Could that be "received its final identification"? That is, named as well as numbered, or named and numbered. An asteroid that has been discovered but whose orbit is not known with certainty gets a provisional designation in alphanumeric code which is based on the date of its discovery (e.g., 1996 LJ1). It gets a number once its orbit is known and is usually named after that. Last time I checked, about one out of every seven asteroids that have numbers (more than 70,000) also have names.

The asteroid was classified/filed/inserted

Maybe "entered"? (As in "filed" or "placed.")

in our registry on 31. 7. 2000, the citation/quotation

I believe "citation" is correct for this context. That's the term used by the people in the astronomy establishment who are responsible for naming asteroids.

was made public/brought out

Maybe "published"?

in MPC 41034 (26. 7. 2000), translation -pp-]

Course/route/path/way of the asteroid in the solar system

"Path" sounds best to me personally. Or maybe "the orbit of the asteroid within the solar system"?

[Guest]

well, you sound more keen on that than me...I certainly love astronomy, but what I read, I read it in french, so I'm not aware of the specific terminology applied in this or that case...
about that "final identification" issue...in the original text (that I found on the internet as i was looking for the mass of our dear Monitoma ) it says "kdy tato planetka dostala definitivní ozna?ení (?íslo)" .
"definitivni", like "définitif", in french, means "last, final". i.e., there won't be any other change (unless special circumstances, I s'pose ).
anyway, hope I helped you

[Nephilim]

that was me, above...damn PC

[m-a-holmes]

Thanks.
