(13107) Rudolfdvorak Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 19 March 1993 by UESAC at La Silla.
Rudolf Dvorak (b. 1946) is an Austrian professor at University of Vienna. His pioneering work in computational astrodynamics laid the foundation for numerical-stability analyses of gravitational multi-body systems. Rudolf has made important contributions in the studies of near-Earth objects, Trojans, and dynamical families, and transport of water to Earth.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 6, #11, 8), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
