Biography:
She was born on March 13, 1928 in the Blagodarne village of the Stavropol Krai of the Russian SSR.
In 1950, she graduated from the A. A. Zhdanov Leningrad Order of Lenin State University.
In 1956, she completed postgraduate studies at the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute.
On April 24, 1959, she defended her candidate's thesis at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (Pukovo urban village) on the topic: "Changes in radiation intensity during the transition from the center to the edge of the star disk in systems of dimming variables."
From 1958 to 1988, she worked at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
Since 1962 to 1968, she worked as a scientist-secretary of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
On September 26, 1985, she defended her doctoral thesis "Structure and state of the plasma of quiescent protuberances" at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
She died on July 10, 2009.
Her scientific interests include research on the physics of the Sun, namely, the study of calm protuberances taking into account their heterogeneous structure. She showed for the first time that the concept of a uniform bulge can be applied only to weak objects of this type. To explain the spectral features of the protrusions, the theory of transfer in lines and a continuum with a variable source function was used for the first time in the calculations. The astronomer built a structurally heterogeneous model of the solar bulge. This marked the beginning of research into calm protuberances, taking into account their structure. In 1984, she explained the variety of forms of spectral lines of various chemical elements of the protuberances by changes in the density of their substance and the degree of fibrousness. The scientist is the author of 56 scientific works, including the monograph "Spectrophotometric studies of calm solar protuberances" (1984, Russian). It is a member of the International Astronomical Union.
