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.
Neujmin is credited with the discovery of 74 asteroids,[1] and notably 951 Gaspra[5] and 762 Pulcova.
[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.
