(633348) Shvartsman Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 17 September 2009 by B. Satovski T. V. Kryachko at Zelenchukskaya Station.
Viktoriy Shvartsman (1945–1987) was a Soviet astrophysicist known for his prolific contributions to relativistic astrophysics, cosmology, and the theory of relic radiation. He expressed the idea of possible observational manifestations of black holes. Equipment allowing the study of ultra-fast variability of unique objects was created under his guidance.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 5, #4, 36), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
