Minor planets discovered: 74 [1]
see § List of discovered minor planets

Grigory Nikolayevich Neujmin (Template:Lang-ru; January 3 1886 [O.S. December 22, 1885]–December 17, 1946) was a Russian astronomer and discoverer of minor planets and comets at the Pulkovo and Simeiz Observatories during the first half of the 20th century.[2]

He is credited with the discovery of 74 asteroids,[1] and notably 951 Gaspra[3] and 762 Pulcova. 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.

He also discovered or co-discovered a seven of periodic comets, including 25D/Neujmin, 28P/Neujmin, 42P/Neujmin, 57P/du Toit-Neujmin-Delporte and 58P/Jackson–Neujmin. 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.[2]
