(3204) Lindgren is an asteroid of the main outer belt , which was discovered by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Tschernych on September 1, 1978 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj ( IAU code 095).
The asteroid's solar orbit is highly elliptical with an eccentricity of 0.2794 . The mean diameter was calculated to be 19.596 (± 0.248) km , the albedo as 0.063 (± 0.007).
(3204) Lindgren was named on April 2, 1988 at the suggestion of the Russian Academy of Sciences after the Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002). In response to the naming, it is quoted from 1996 as "from now on you can address me asteroid Lindgren" (translation: "from now on you can address me with asteroid Lindgren"). Also named after Astrid Lindgren in 2006 was a caldera in the northern hemisphere of the planet Venus : Lindgren Patera .
