Miguel Hurtado (born 22 April 1978 in Málaga, Spain) is a Spanish astronomer and a software developer at OAM's La Sagra Observatory, where he participated in the discovery of minor planets, comets, and supernovae.[1][2]
Miguel Hurtado has listed the discovery of more than 2300 asteroids including 76 near-Earth objects such as 2012 DA14, as well as 5 comets and 19 supernovae.[1] As of 2017, all numbered asteroids are credited by the Minor Planet Center to Mallorca Observatory, OAM.[3] Jaime Nomen, his college and collaborator at the La Sagra Sky Survey (LSSS), was awarded the Shoemaker NEO Grant in 2010.[4]
The main-belt asteroid 362911 Miguelhurtado, discovered at OAM–La Sagra Observatory in 2009, was named in his honor.[2]
