4177 Kohman, provisional designation 1987 SS1, is a resonant Griqua asteroid from the outermost regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 21 September 1987, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station of the Lowell Observatory near Flagstaff, Arizona, in the United States.[1] The asteroid was named for American nuclear chemist Truman Kohman.[1][6]
