Biography:
He was born on June 26, 1929 in the Kryvosheino village of Kryvosheino district of Tomsk region of Russian SSR.
In 1954, he graduated from V. V. Kuibyshev Tomsk State University, majoring in Astronomy.
During 1954-1955, he worked at the Vladivostok Maritime School, then, until 1958, at the Nicolayev branch of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Pulkovo.
From February 1958, he worked at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, holding positions from junior researcher to chief researcher.
In 1965, he defended his candidate's thesis "Catalog of star ascensions of zenith telescope programs in the FK4 system for the observation era and equinox 1950.0" at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (main office is in Pulkovo urban village), and in 1984 he defended his doctoral thesis "Optical positional observations of Sun and large planets" at the Leningrad State University.
Died on July 10, 2010.
The main scientific interests of the scientist are related to fundamental astrometry, he is one of the famous specialists in the world in this field of science.
The scientific activity of the scientist at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR began as an astrometrist-observer. Based on a long-term series of observations, I obtained a catalog of inclinations of 2253 stars of latitude programs. It was later crystallized during the improvement of the FK4 fundamental catalog and the creation of FK5 in Heidelberg (Germany).
Under his leadership, a large complex of works on the automation of observations on the Wanshaff vertical circle - one of the most time-consuming classical instruments of meridian astrometry - was carried out, on which long series of observations of the Sun and large planets and 15 thousand observations of fundamental bright stars were obtained.
He was the initiator and direct participant in the creation of a data bank of observations of the Sun and major planets and more than 40,000 observations of stars on the EC1061 computer in the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. He developed the theory of the horizontal axial meridian circle, which was produced at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine with the active participation of K.Yu. Skoryk.
The scientist devoted the last years of his life to the issue of introducing research in the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR in a new scientific direction - "infrared astrometry".
He is the author and co-author of 110 scientific works, including two monographs.
In 1998, his scientific work was awarded an Honorary Certificate by the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
