(55753) Raman is an asteroid of the average main belt , which by the German astronomer Freimut Börngen and Lutz D. Schmadel on 13 September 1991 with the Schmidt telescope of the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory ( IAU code 033) in Tautenburger forest was discovered .
The orbit of (55753) Raman was secured in 2003 so that numbering could be assigned. The asteroid was named on August 6 of the same year at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen after the Indian physicist C. V. Raman (1888-1970), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 “for his work on the scattering of light and the discovery of the after named effect ”( Raman scattering ). Already in 1976 a lunar crater on the northwestern front of the moon was named after CV Raman: lunar crater Raman .
