(6203) Lyubamoroz Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 3 March 1981 by S. J. Bus at Siding Spring.
Lyubov Moroz (b. 1966), a laboratory spectroscopist at the German Aerospace Center in Berlin, has investigated the effects of temperature and opaques on the spectra of minor planets. She was the first researcher to try to simulate the optical effects due to impact melting of minerals using a pulse laser.Naming citation (20020624/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
