Nomenclature
- Named for Egbert Adriaan Kreiken (November 1, 1896 - August 16, 1964), a Dutch teacher and astronomer. For most of his life he served as an educator, working in the developing countries of Indonesia, Liberia, and Turkey. Over a forty year career he would publish a number of papers on astronomy, including studies of stars and stellar systems.
- This name appears on LTO-81C1 (for which it served as the chart title). It does not appear to replace any previous IAU-approved designation. Although it appears in the cumulative list of approved names printed in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB], when and how it came to be approved is not entirely clear from the IAU record. Biographical information was unofficially reported in [/Ashbrook%2C%201974 Ashbrook, 1974]. - JimMosher JimMosher
