The father of scientist Walter Alvarez recived a Nobel Prize in Physics in what year?
3581 Alvarez 3581 Alvarez (1985 HC) is a Mars-crossing asteroid discovered on April 23, 1985, by Shoemaker, C. and Shoemaker, E. at Palomar. Based upon lightcurve data, it has a synodic rotation period of  hours with an amplitude variation of in magnitude. With a diameter of ~14 km, it is one of the largest Mars-crossing asteroids. However, due to the high inclination of its orbit, it never actually passes through the orbit of Mars since at perihelion it is well away from the plane of Mars' orbit. The asteroid is named after planetary scientist Walter Alvarez and his Nobel-prize winning father, physicist Luis Alvarez.
Robert Woodrow Wilson Robert Woodrow Wilson (born January 10, 1936) is an American astronomer, 1978 Nobel laureate in physics, who with Arno Allan Penzias discovered in 1964 the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). The award purse was also shared with a third scientist, Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa, for unrelated work.
