1461 Jean-Jacques, provisional designation 1937 YL, is a metallic asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 33 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by French female astronomer Marguerite Laugier at Nice Observatory in southern France on 30 December 1937.

The metallic M-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.0–3.3 AU once every five and a half years (2,020 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.05 and is tilted by 15 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 16.6 hours and a geometric albedo of 0.10–0.27 according to the surveys carried out by IRAS, Akari, WISE and NEOWISE.

The minor planet was named after Jean-Jacques Laugier, the son of the discoverer.

Jean-Jacques Burnel

Jean-Jacques "JJ" Burnel (born 21 February 1952, London), is a Franco-English musician, producer and songwriter, best known as the bass guitarist with the British rock band The Stranglers.

Life and career

Jean-Jacques Burnel was born in Notting Hill, London, to French parents. He moved with his parents to Godalming, Surrey, when he was about 12 and attended the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, subsequently reading history at the University of Bradford and Huddersfield Polytechnic. Burnel originally trained as a classical guitarist, but adopted the bass guitar as his instrument within The Stranglers. He has also sung lead vocals on about a third of the band's songs.

Burnel has been with The Stranglers since the group's inception in 1974, but has also made two solo albums; Euroman Cometh in 1979, and Un Jour Parfait in 1988, as well as a collaborative album with fellow Stranglers member Dave Greenfield, Fire and Water (Ecoutez Vos Murs) in 1983. Burnel has also produced and appeared as a guest musician for a number of artists, such as Lizard and ARB from Japan, Polyphonic Size (from Belgium) and Taxi Girl's album, Seppuku, in 1981, as well as Laurent Sinclair's "Devant le Miroir" maxi single. Burnel also formed a rhythm and blues covers band, The Purple Helmets, who played a number of concerts and released two albums in the late 1980s.

The Stranglers

The Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene.

Scoring some 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning four decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving and most "continuously successful" bands to have originated in the UK punk scene of the mid to late 1970s. Beginning life as the Guildford Stranglers on 11 September 1974 in Guildford, Surrey, they originally built a following within the mid-1970s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude identified them as one of the instigators of the UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisticated pop of some of their 1980s output.

They had major mainstream success with their single "Golden Brown". Their other hits include "No More Heroes", "Peaches", "Always the Sun" and "Skin Deep".
