David Lincoln Rabinowitz (born 1960) is a researcher at Yale University. Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT is a program run by NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratory to discover Near-Earth objects The NEAT system began observations Year 1960 ( MCMLX) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. He has built CCD cameras and software for the detection of near Earth asteroids,[1] and his research has helped reduce the assumed number of these objects by half, from 1,000-2,000 to 500-1,000[2] He has also assisted in the detection of distant solar system objects, supernovae, and quasars, thereby helping to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system and the dark energy driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. A charge-coupled device ( CCD) is an analog Shift register, that enables the transportation of analog signals (electric charges through successive stages (capacitors Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs are Asteroids whose Orbits are close to Earth 's orbit A supernova (plural supernovae or supernovas) is a stellar Explosion. A quasar (contraction of QUASi-stellAR radio source) is an extremely powerful and distant Active galactic nucleus. The Solar System consists of the Sun and those celestial objects bound to it by Gravity. In Physical cosmology, dark energy is a hypothetical exotic form of Energy that permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe The metric expansion of space is the averaged increase of metric (i
Collaborating with Michael E. Brown and Chad Trujillo of the Quasar Equatorial Survey Team, he has participated in the discovery of several centaurs, among them:
- 90377 Sedna - possibly the first known inner Oort cloud object. Education Brown is a Huntsville Alabama native and graduated from Virgil Grissom High School in 1983 Early career Trujillo attended Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park Illinois. The Quasar Equatorial Survey Team is a joint venture between Yale University, Indiana University, and Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomia (CIDA to TemplateInfobox Planet.--> 90377 Sedna (ˈsɛdnə) is a Trans-Neptunian The Oort cloud ( ort alternatively the Öpik-Oort Cloud) is a hypothetical spherical cloud of Comets believed to lie roughly 50 000 AU, [3]

- (136472) 2005 FY9[7]
The final three were discovered on the same day.
Together with Tom Gehrels of the University of Arizona and his Spacewatch Team, Rabinowitz co-discovered one other astronomical object:
