Odette Bancilhon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odette Bancilhon was a French astronomer. She is known for her work during the 1930s and 1940s at the Algiers Observatory, where she discovered the asteroid 1333 Cevenola. All of her publications are signed O. Bancilhon, a practice of her profession at that time.
She later married her colleague Alfred Schmitt in the 1940s, and was known professionally as O. Schmitt-Bancilhon. The asteroid 1713 Bancilhon is also named after her, which she discovered on the 27 September 1951.
