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.
Ernest C. Pollard Ernest Charles "Ernie" Pollard (April 16, 1906 – February 24, 1997) was a professor of physics and biophysics and an author, who worked on the development of radar systems in World War II, worked on the physics of living cells, and who wrote textbooks and approximately 200 papers on nuclear physics and radiation biophysics.
