'''C. Michelle Olmstead''' (born 21 May 1969) is an American [[astronomer]], asteroid discoverer and [[computer scientist]].<ref name="springer" />
 
==Early life and education==
 
Olmstead attended [[Northern Arizona University]] as an undergraduate student in [[physics]] and [[astronomy]] from 1989-1993, where she was a [[NASA]] undergraduate fellow and participated in several asteroid [[astrometry]] programs and made measurements using existing [[Astronomical survey|survey work]].<ref name="springer" />
 
==Career==
 
She is credited by the [[Minor Planet Center]] with the discovery of 46 asteroids for the period between 1977 and 1990. In 1990, with [[Henry E. Holt]], she co-discovered [[127P/Holt-Olmstead]], a [[periodic comet]] that bears her name.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Bowell |first1=E. |last2=Holt |first2=H. E. |last3=Olmstead |first3=C.

The minor planet [[3287 Olmstead]], a [[Mars-crosser]] asteroid discovered by astronomer [[Schelte J. Bus]] in 1981, was named in her honour.<ref name="springer" /> Her lowest numbered discovery, {{mpl|(5633) 1978 UL|7}}, officially discovered at [[Palomar Observatory]] in 1978, and presumably taken on [[photographic plate]]s by Tom Gehrels shortly after the last [[Palomar–Leiden Survey]] campaign, had its discovering astrometric observation published on 12 September 1992 ({{small|[[Minor Planet Circular|M.P.C. 20706]]}}).<ref name="MPC-5633" /><ref name="MPC-Circulars-Archive" />
