Minor planet [[1152 Pawona]] is named after both [[Johann Palisa]] and Max Wolf, in recognition of their cooperation. The name was proposed by Swedish astronomer Bror Ansgar Asplind. ''Pawona'' is a combination of "Palisa" and "Wolf" (Pa, Wo) joined with a Latin feminine suffix.<ref>{{cite book  |last       = Schmadel | first = Lutz D.  |title = Dictionary of Minor Planet Names |publisher  = Springer Berlin Heidelberg  |page  = 97  |date  = 2007  |doi       = 10.1007/978-3-540-29925-7_1153 |chapter       = (1152) Pawona |isbn       = 978-3-540-00238-3 }}</ref>
