Reference excerpt

Krisztián Sárneczky (born 6 November 1974) is a Hungarian teacher of geography and prolific discoverer of minor planets and supernovae, researching at Konkoly Observatory in Budapest, Hungary. He is a board member of the Hungarian Astronomical Association (HAA) and member of the American Association of Variable Star Observers, leader of the Comet Section of the HAA, and is a contributor in the editorial work of Hungarian Astronomical Almanach.

Personal life In 1990, he joined the Hungarian Astronomical Association and became the Co-ordinator of the Cometary Section the same year. In 1994, he became a member of the Executive Committee and in 1996 he was appointed secretary. In 1996 he also joined the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). Krisztián Sárneczky has published a number of articles in the astronomy community, and has a large number of asteroid discoveries to his credit (see § Discoveries).

Discoveries

As of 2018, Krisztián Sárneczky is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery and co-discovery of 379 numbered minor planets during 2000–2012, as well as the co-discovery of 5 supernovae including 2011ba and 2011ab Anonym. He has also discovered three of the first eight predicted earth impactors: 2022 EB5, 2023 CX1, and 2024 BX1. Each of these impacted Earth's atmosphere generating a fireball within hours of discovery.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Krisztián Sárneczky

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Krisztián Sárneczky claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Krisztián Sárneczky before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Krisztián Sárneczky ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Krisztián Sárneczky

In research: Krisztián Sárneczky appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Krisztián Sárneczky in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Krisztián Sárneczky is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1974 births, 21st-century Hungarian astronomers, Discoverers of asteroids, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Krisztián Sárneczky outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
