(3836) Lem is an asteroid of the main inner belt , which was discovered by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Tschernych on September 22, 1979 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj ( IAU code 095).
Mean solar distance ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid roughly resemble the orbital data of the members of the Flora family, a large group of asteroids named after (8) Flora . Asteroids of this family move in a 4: 9 orbital resonance with the planet Mars around the sun . The group is also called the Ariadne family, after the asteroid (43) Ariadne .
(3836) Lem was named on September 12, 1992 after the Polish writer Stanisław Lem (1921-2006).
