Lyudmyla Karachkina
Ljudmyla Heorhijiwna Karatschkina ( Ukrainian Людмила Георгіївна Карачкіна , Russian Людмила Георгиевна Карачкина ; * 3. September 1948 in Rostov-on-Don ) is a Ukrainian (until 1992: Soviet) astronomer .
Lyudmila Karachkina, daughter of a mathematician and scientist, works as a senior researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Astronomy of the Crimean Observatory . She discovered 131 asteroids, including the Amor asteroid (5324) Lyapunov and the Trojan (3063) Makhaon . The asteroid (8019) Karachkina was named in her honor.
Together with Lyudmyla Shuravlowa , with whom she worked at the Crimean Observatory , she named the asteroid (3067) Akhmatova after the writer Anna Akhmatova in 1982 . In the same year she also dedicated the name of a celestial body to the director Andrei Tarkovsky ( (3345) Tarkovskij ), the writer Michail Bulgakov ( (3469) Bulgakov ) and the writer Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva ( (3511) Tsvetaeva ). These naming were seen as a subtle but significant correction of the cultural history of Soviet Russia.
Karachkina has two daughters, the pianist Maria and Renata.
