Discovered four main belter asteroids 2011 UP62 - (359746) 2011 UO70 - 2011 UP70 - 2011 UQ70 in images taken on October 22 and confirmed the next nigh from CX MónNatura Pirineus (les Planes de Son, MPC C29), found at 20,2 - 20,1 - 20,8 - 20,6 magnitude, respectively. These discoveries are been made by Enrique Herrero, Josep M. Bosch and the students Marta Miret and Marta Puig also within the Program Joves i Ciència, as the asteroid 2011 NR in July. The 2011 NP70 is in far opposition (H = 15.8). The asteroid (359746) 2011 UO70 was numbered in March 2013.
Discovered three main belter asteroids 2011 QL42 - 2011 QM42 - 2011 QN42 (322390 Planes de Son) in images taken on August 29 and confirmed the next nigh from CX MónNatura Pirineus (les Planes de Son, MPC C29), found at 19,7 - 20,6 - 19,7 magnitude, respectively. On July 4, 2012 the Small Bodies Names Committee (International Astronomical Union) has named 2011 QN42 (322390) as Planes de Son, with support from Bob McMillan, co-Investigator on the Science Team of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer Spacecraft (WISE) and founder and director of Spacewatch Project.

Discovered the main belter asteroid 2011 QU2 in images taken on August 19 and confirmed after two nigths from CX MónNatura (les Planes de Son, MPC C29), found at 19,5 magnitude.
Discovered the main belter asteroid 2011 PK1 on August 2 from CX MónNatura (les Planes de Son, MPC C29), found at 20,5 magnitude in images taken on August 2 and confirmed the next two nights. Magnitude absolute H = 17
Discovered the asteroid 2011 OF on July 20 from CX MónNatura (les Planes de Son, MPC C29), found at 19,5 magnitude in images taken on July 20 and confirmed the next night. On August 7 the MPC reported that this is a Mars crossing asteroid.
The MPC has assigned on July 6 the asteroid 2011 NR discovered from Observatori de les Planes de Son (MPC C29) by Enrique Herrero, Mercè Romero and I within the Program Joves i Ciència that organizes CatalunyaCaixa from the Centre de Natura les Planes de Son (CX MónNatura Pirineus), comarca del Pallars Sobirà, Catalonia, in the Pyrenees. The asteroid 2011 NR was found at 19 magnitude in images taken on July 4 and confirmed by the discoverers the next night. Both nights the discovery was made with the ten students of the astronomy section belonging to the Program Joves i Ciència. This asteroid probably belongs to the Flora family beacause it has 2.1 < a < 2.3, i < 11, orbiting near Mars (a = 2.25, i = 7.04945).
