Ludmila PajduskovĽudmila Pajduškov (June 29 1916 – October 6 1979) was a Slovak astronomer. She specialized in solar astronomy, and also discovered a number of comets, including periodic comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajduskov, and the non-periodic C/1946 K1 (Pajduškov-Rotbart-Weber), C/1948 E1 (Pajduškov-Mrkos), C/1951 C1 (Pajduškov) and C/1953 X1 (Pajduškov). She observed at Skalnat Pleso Observatory and became its third director from 1958 to 1979. The asteroid 3636 Pajduškov is named after her. She may have been married to Antonn Mrkos. In a 1951 "Comet Notes" article in Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific 63 (1951) 209, Leland E. Cunningham in discussing comet C/1951 C1 refers to her as "Miss Pajduškov (Mrs. Mrkos)", and there was an astronomy book published in 1956 by Ľudmila Mrkosov-Pajduškov, as well as various scientific papers under this name from approximately 1952–1958. However, their respective biographies do not seem to mention any such marriage. Obituary Pajdusakova, Ludmila Pajdusakova, Ludmila Pajdusakova, Ludmila
