(5096) Luzin is an asteroid of the main inner belt , which was discovered by the Ukrainian - Soviet astronomer Lyudmyla Shuravlowa on September 5, 1983 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj ( IAU code 095). There had been unconfirmed sightings of the asteroid before: on October 4, 1972 (1972 TH) at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj and on February 8, 1981 (1981 CO) at the Anderson Mesa Station of the Lowell Observatory in Coconino County , Arizona .

Mean solar distance ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid correspond to the Vesta family , a large group of asteroids named after (4) Vesta , the second largest asteroid and third largest celestial body in the main belt.

The rotation period of (5096) Luzin was recorded at the Etscorn Campus Observatory of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro with a 35 cm Celestron - Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on six nights between October 26 and November 4, 2012 with 3.054 (± 0.002) hours determined.

The asteroid was named on May 4, 1999 after the Soviet mathematician Nikolai Lusin (1883–1950). As early as 1976, a Mars crater was named after Nikolai Lusin: Mars crater Luzin .
