ASTEROIDS OBSERVED AT THE GPO, LA SILLA

Continuing the observational programme, which was started in 1976 at t he European Southern Observatory (ESO), La Silla, by Debehogne a lot o f new photographic plates was obtained during February-March in 1989. These plates are used for the determination of positions of asteroids selected by ''Ephemerides of Minor Planets for 1989'', edited by the I nstitute of Theoretical Astronomy of Leningrad (ITA) in 1988. They per mit also discoveries of new celestial bodies as well as reidentificati ons of lost or badly observed asteroids during the last years. For the part treated here, the examination of the plates has revealed nine as teroids not mentioned in the Russian Ephemerides or in the disquettes as fournished by the Minor Planet Centre (MPC) of SAG. Seven were pres ent in the ITA source.
