Biography:
Born July 10, 1934 in the Aquarium village of the Brusilovsky district of the Zhytomyr region of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1956 he graduated from the Faculty of Physics of T. G. Shevchenko Kyiv University, specializing in physics-astronomer.
In 1957-1960 D. P. Andrienko worked at the Polar Station on Cape Schmidt of Magadan Region of Russian SSR. The cycle of his works was devoted to determining the heights of the aurora borealis using photographs from two points.
In 1965 he defended his Ph.D. thesis: "Studying the heights of the polar lights for observations in the area of Tiksi Bay".
In 1988 he defended his doctoral dissertation: "Investigation of the physical nature of flashes of comet brilliance".
During 1960-2005 he worked as a lecturer, senior researcher, associate professor and since 1990 professor of the T. G. Shevchenko Kiev Order of Lenin and the Order of the October Revolution State University. He conducted research in the fields of astronomy, physics of interplanetary plasma, comets, heliogeophysics and physics of the earth's atmosphere. The scientist, for the first time in the USSR, designed the equipment for determining the altitudes of the polar lights, carried out numerous measurements, and the results obtained in 1962-1965 gained widespread recognition in the world. He substantiated the idea and developed a mathematical model of the flash of comets' brightness as a result of the influence of the fluxes of the solar wind. Developed and for the first time used the new theory of ballistic cumulation of comet dust, whi ch allows us to justify the emergence of active processes in cometary atmospheres - flashes of lightning, the formation of antitussives and other local phenomena. The scientist created and issued directories of physical characteristics of comets that was observed during the period 1976-1985. He was the active participant in the development and creation of the first domestic automated satellite equipment for the study of ozone in the Earth's atmosphere, which worked on artificial satellites of the Earth "Cosmos" and "Meteor" "In 1979-1988. He studied courses:" General astronomy", "Heavenly mechanics "," Space flight dynamics ", "Space geodesy ", "Physics and dynamics of comets".
In 1979-1979 he was secretary of the Section of Astronomy of the Scientific and Technical Council under the Ministry of the Ukrainian SSR.
Astronomer was a member of the Commission of the International Astronomical Union "Comets, Small Planets and Meteorites," since 1992 as an academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, during 1983-1992, the chairman of the astronomy section of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education of the Ukrainian SSR, and during 1992 -2005. Head of the Department of Astronomy of the Scientific and Methodological Council on Physics of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
He was a member and one of the founders of the international Eurasian astronomical society of Russia, the CIS and the Baltic States ("Astro"). The company was founded in 1990.
On June 20, 2011, the scientist died.
He is the author of over 190 scientific works and 3 monographs (in co-authorship).
