Henri M. J. Boffin is a Belgian astronomer from the European Southern Observatory,[3] credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of 11 numbered minor planets between 1999 and 2001, some in collaboration with Thierry Pauwels.[1]

Henri Boffin received his PhD in 1993 from the Université libre de Bruxelles for his work on the formation of barium stars and has since gone on to work on a variety of problems in the study of binary stars.[4] Most recently, he has dedicated his time to the study of binary stars in planetary nebulae, including discovering the binary central star of Fleming 1,[5] and the use of optical interferometry to study mass-transfer.[6]

He is also extremely active in science communication, having been coordinator of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 Gigagalaxy Zoom project,[7] as well as being interviewed about his work in a wide range of publications.[8]

Boffin named the main-belt asteroid 37392 Yukiniall after his two children, Yuki and Niall.[9] Naming citation was published on 24 July 2002 (M.P.C. 46112).[10]
