From the JPL Small-Body DataBase:

Polish-born astrophysicist Bohdan Paczynski (b. 1940), at Princeton University since 1982, is known for his theoretical work on \gamma -ray bursters-he was an early proponent of their being at cosmological distances-and for leading searches for gravitational lensing by low-mass stars and substellar objects.

The symbol of this minor planet is a monogram of the letters B. P. over an astronomer's star-in-circle.
