| Discoverer | Zdeňka Vávrová Zdenka Vávrová Zdeňka Vávrová is a Czech astronomer.She co-discovered periodic comet 134P/Kowal-Vávrová. She had observed it as an asteroid, which received the provisional designation 1983 JG, without seeing any cometary coma. However, later images by Charles T. Kowal showed a coma.She has also discovered a... |
