Biography:
He was born in 1942.
In 1966 he graduated from the A. A. Zhdanov Leningrad Order of Lenin State University where he joined in 1961.
During 1966-1994 he was an employee of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Academy of Sciences of the Tajik SSR.
During 1994-2005 he worked at the Research Institute of Astronomy of Kharkiv State University as a chief researcher.
During 2006-2015 he worked as the head of the department at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
Since 2015 he has been a senior researcher at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory.
In 1982 he defended his dissertation on "Comet Polarimetry".
In 2003 he defended his doctoral dissertation "Scattering of light on dust particles of comets, asteroids and near-Earth shells: observation and interpretation" at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. in the specialty "astrophysics, radio astronomy".
He is currently the head of the Department of Small Body Physics of the Solar System of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
Specialist in the study of comets and asteroids.
N. N. Kiselyov's scientific activity is devoted to the study of physical properties and stars by the methods of aperture and panoramic polarimetry and photometry. He was one of the first in the Soviet Union to conduct modern astrophysical studies of asteroids and to systematically study the polarization of radiation from comets and satellites. The main contribution of N. N. Kiselyov in astronomy is as follows:
- for the first time a negative branch of comet radiation polarization was discovered and complete phase dependences of comet radiation polarization available for terrestrial observations were obtained;
- for the first time two groups of comets were identified, which differ in the maximum degree of polarization of comets;
- for the first time an anomalous spectral dependence of the polarization of a series radiation is found
comets selected into a group with special physical properties;
- for the first time complete phase dependences of polarization of radiation of asteroids of S-, E-types which include maxima of polarization are constructed and investigated, physical properties (albedo, sizes) of a number of asteroids approaching the Earth are investigated;
- for the first time the peculiarities of the negative branch of polarization of the satellites of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus in the field of opposition were revealed, including the discovery of the polarization opposition effect;
- for the first time, an increase in the degree of polarization in the minima of the brightness of the Ae/Ve Herbig stars was found, which confirmed the theoretical prediction of this phenomenon due to light scattering on the powders of stellar disks during eclipses by comet-like dust.
clouds;
- took an active part in the development and creation of new photometers-polarimeters, methodology of observations, registration and analysis of aperture and panoramic polarimetry and photometry of celestial bodies.
N. N. Kiselyov made a great contribution to the construction of the 1-meter telescope and the Sanglock Alpine Observatory in Tajikistan. He is the author of about 260 scientific papers, co-author of 4 collective monographs, polarimetric comet databases and satellite data included in the NASA Planetary Data System.
He is a member of the International Astronomical Union, the European Astronomical Union and the Astronomical Union of Germany, a corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Bolivia.
In 2010 he was a laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology for his work "Development of theoretical foundations, development and application of polarimetric methods and equipment for remote sensing of solar systems by ground and aerospace." He was also awarded the Medal of the Astronomical Council of the USSR Academy of Sciences "For the Discovery of New Astronomical Objects" and the Order of the Badge of Honor of the USSR.
The small planet 4208 named Kiselev in honor of the scientist.
