(13673) Urysohn Main-belt Asteroid

Discovered on 1 June 1997 by P. G. Comba at Prescott.

Pavel Samuilovich Urysohn (1898-1924) was a Russian topologist. Much of his research centered on the study of dimensionality. Although his scientific activity lasted only about five years, it had a profound influence on later developments and laid the foundations of the Soviet school of topology.Naming citation (20000523/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
