Lyudmila Zhuravlyova

Lyudmila Vasilyevna Zhuravleva (Russian: Людмила Васильевна Журавлёва, Ukrainian: Людмила Василівна Журавльова) is a Soviet, Russian and Ukrainian astronomer.

She works at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory.

She also serves as president[1] of the Crimean branch of the "Prince Clarissimus Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov Foundation"[2] (which was founded in May 1995 in Berezovo, and is not the same as the "Menshikov Foundation" children's charity founded by Anthea Eno, the wife of Brian Eno).

She has discovered a number of asteroids, including the Trojan asteroid 4086 Podalirius and asteroid 2374 Vladvysotskij. Zhuravleva is ranked 43 by Harvard University's list of those who discovered minor planets. She is credited with having discovered 200 such bodies, 13 of which were co-discoveries, between 1972 and 1992.[3]
