(7368) Haldancohn Main-belt Asteroid

Discovered on 20 January 1966 by Indiana University at Brooklyn.

Haldan Cohn (b. 1953), on the faculty of Indiana University, has carried out fundamental research on the dynamics of stellar systems. He is particularly known for his work on the late stages of core collapse in star clusters and on the effect of gravothermal instabilities on the dynamical evolution of star clusters.Naming citation (20040306/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
