Unconfirmed sightings of the asteroid had already given 1998 (1998 HE62 ) at the Lincoln Laboratory Experimental Test System in Socorro, New Mexico within the project Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR ).

( 34420 ) Peterpau belongs to Hygiea family, a rather older group of asteroids, as has been suggested, the largest member of the asteroid (10 ) Hygiea is. After FORMING classification (Small Main -Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey) were assumed in ( 34420 ) Peterpau of a dark surface with a spectroscopic investigation of Gianluca Masi, Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel, it might be so, roughly speaking, to act a C- asteroids.

The timeless ( nichtoskulierenden ) orbital elements of ( 34420 ) Peterpau are almost identical with those of two smaller asteroids, assuming the absolute brightness of 15.8 and 15.6 compared to 13.6: ( 209480 ) 2004 HD30 and ( 223 445 ) 2003 SF309.

( 34420 ) Peterpau was named after the American Academy Award-winning Hong Kong- origin Peter Pau on 19 February 2006. Pau is a cameraman.
