Grigory Nikolayevich Neujmin ( Russian: Григорий Николаевич Неуймин; 3 January 1886 [ O.S. 22 December 1885] – 17 December 1946) was a Georgian– Russian astronomer, native of Tbilisi in Georgia, [2] and a discoverer of numerous minor planets as well as 6 periodic and a hyperbolic comet at the Pulkovo and Simeiz Observatories during the first half of the 20th century. [3] [4]
The Minor Planet Center credits his discoveries under the name " G. N. Neujmin", and his surname appears this way in the literature. However, the modern English transliteration of his name would be Neuymin.
Neujmin is credited with the discovery of 74 asteroids, [1] and notably 951 Gaspra [5] and 762 Pulcova.
He also discovered and co-discovered 6 Jupiter-family comets, namely 25D/Neujmin, 28P/Neujmin, 42P/Neujmin, 57P/du Toit-Neujmin-Delporte (including fragment A) and 58P/Jackson–Neujmin, as well as C/1914 M1 (Neujmin), a hyperbolic comet. [4]
He received the Order of the Red Banner of Labour on 10 June 1945.[ citation needed] The lunar crater Neujmin is named in his honour, as is 1129 Neujmina, a main-belt asteroid of the Eos family discovered by Praskovjya Parkhomenko at Simeiz Observatory in 1929. [3] [4]
