Jaume Nomen Torres (also: Jaime Nomen; born June 23, 1960, in Tortosa, Catalonia) is a Spanish oral and maxillofacial surgeon, amateur astronomer, and discoverer of numerous minor planets. He is of Catalan origin and became publicly known for the discovery of the near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 (later named 367943 Duende) by the OAM team (of which he is a member) during the La Sagra Sky Survey. The asteroid 56561 Jaimenomen is named after him.[2]

Nomen is a prolific discoverer of asteroids, a professor at the University of Barcelona, and an active member of GEA[3] (Grup d'Estudis Astronòmics, Barcelona).[4] He has discovered more than sixty asteroids,[5] of which 55 have been numbered.[1] He is the director of the Unicorn Project 3SSS, that places three automatic telescopes of 61 cm in the Piera Observatory, l'Ametlla de Mar Observatory, and Costitx Observatory to increase the capacity of detection and study of asteroids.[3]
