Frédéric Sy

Frédéric Sy (1861-1917) was a French astronomer and a discoverer of minor planets.

[2] While working in Algiers he published extensively on the subjects of minor asteroids and comets, and was a colleague of astronomer François Gonnessiat.

Sy was responsible for the discovery and naming of two asteroids,[1] 858 El Djezaïr and 859 Bouzaréah.

The names were drawn from locations near the discovering Algiers Observatory.
