(11013) Kullander is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 16 August 1982 by the Swedish astronomer Claes-Ingvar Lagerkvist at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory ( IAU code in 809) Chile was discovered. The asteroid had been sighted almost simultaneously at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj under the provisional designation 1982 RF ₂ .

The asteroid belongs to the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa, which is also known as the Hertha family (after (135) Hertha).

(11013) Kullander was named on March 18, 2003 after the Swedish physicist Sven Kullander (1936–2014), who, as a professor at Uppsala University, carried out experiments on the structure of the atomic shell , the helium nucleus and the structure of matter with the help of a particle accelerator produced mesons .
