About Anna Winlock
Anna Winlock (1857–1904) was an American astronomer and human computer, one of the first members of female computer group known as "the Harvard Computers." She made the most complete catalog of stars near the north and south poles of her era. She is also remembered for her calculations and studies of asteroids. In particular, she did calculations on 433 Eros and 475 Ocllo. Winlock quickly followed in her father's footsteps becoming one of the first female paid staff members of the Harvard College Observatory. Simon Newcom published their joint work computing the path of a newly discovered asteroid, Ocllo, figuring out that it had the least circular orbit of any asteroid yet known.
