Named in memory of Charles Edmund Worley (1935-1997), indefatigable observer and cataloguer of double-star positions. Following two years at the Lick Observatory, he was on the staff of the U.S. Naval Observatory from 1961. His work has significantly enhanced our knowledge of the motion of double-star and multiple-star systems and of stellar masses. Name suggested by H. Eichhorn.


Discovered on 21-9-1987 in Anderson Mesa by Bowell, E.
