Mean distance from the sun ( semimajor axis), eccentricity and inclination of the orbital plane of the asteroid corresponding to the Vesta family, a large group of asteroids, named after ( 4) Vesta, the second largest asteroid and the third-largest celestial body of the main belt.

The rotation period of ( 5096 ) Luzin was on Etscorn Campus Observatory of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro with a 35 -cm Celestron Schmidt- Cassegrain telescope on six nights between 26 October and 4 November 2012, 3,054 determined (± 0.002) hours.

The asteroid was named after the Soviet mathematician Nikolai Luzin on 4 May 1999. In 1976 a Martian crater by Nikolai Luzin was named: Mars crater Luzin.
