Biography:
She was born on February 20, 1929 in the Kryvtsya village of Stavyshchensky District of Kyiv region of Ukrainian SSR.
In 1948, she entered and in 1953 graduated from T. G. Shevchenko Kyiv State University, majoring in astronomy.
During 1953-1954, she worked as a senior laboratory technician at T.G. Shevchenko Kyiv State University.
During 1953-1956, she was a graduate student of the Physics Faculty of T.G. Shevchenko Kyiv State University, majoring in astrophysics.
During 1956-1958, she worked as an assistant at the Department of Astronomy of T.G. Shevchenko Kyiv University.
During 1958-1959, she worked as a laboratory assistant at T. G. Shevchenko Kyiv State University.
During 1959-1961, she was a referent of the Society for the Dissemination of Political and Scientific Knowledge of the Ukrainian SSR.
Since December 1961 to 1969, she worked as a Methodist lecturer at the Kyiv Planetarium.
In 1967, she defended her PhD thesis "Analysis of the Photometric Structure of the Tail of Comet Orend-Roland 1957 III" at the T. G. Shevchenko Kyiv Order of Lenin State University. Konoplyova V. P. was her scientific supervisor.
During 1969-1971, she worked as a deputy director for scientific work, head of the methodical department of the Kyiv Planetarium.
During 1971-July 1972, she was a junior scientist, and then until June 1975, she was an acting senior employee, and then a senior employee of the Tyksa Polar Geocosmophysical Observatory of the IKFIA YAFSO of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. Her group obtained unique photographic data of observations of the aurora borealis. She co-authored 1 monograph and 20 articles on the subject of astronomical and geophysical research, in particular, she studied the dynamics of the background glow of the auroral ionosphere in the emission of 6300 Å and bands with a fibrous structure. For the first time, stable local regions of aurora avoidance ("holes") appearing near local north in the region of the Harang rift were discovered, and their connection with the convective current in the magnetosphere was established. The scientist discovered the presence of a self-stabilization mechanism in the fibrous arc of the aurora borealis.
In 1973-1974, she was the organizer and leader of a high-latitude expedition to the island of Zhokhova,
In the winter of 1974-1975, she took part in the Soviet-French experiment "Araks".
In 1975, she reported on the XVI General Assembly of the IAGA in Grenoble, France.
In 1976, as one of the responsible performers, she prepared a full scientific report on the topic "Measurement of cosmophysical and geophysical phenomena in the aurora zone".
Supervised the work of research interns and diploma theses of students of Yakutsk and Irkutsk State Universities, who were undergoing industrial training at the PHO.
Worked as a member of the Upper Atmosphere Commission of the Scientific Council for Cosmophysical Research of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, scientific secretary of the scientific and technical council of the Tiksi Observatory, as well as the head of the observatory's MC
Since November 1977, she worked as a junior researcher in the Laboratory of Stellar Physics of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. In June 1978, by order of the president of the Academy of Sciences, the scientist was awarded the title of senior researcher in the specialty "geophysics".
Under her leadership, in 1975 and 1977, collections of the results of observations of various geophysical phenomena in the auroral zone were published.
During her work at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, she carried out work on the systematization and generalization of data on cosmic sources of infrared radiation, compiled a catalog of bright IR sources, performed model calculations on the evolution of the comet nucleus in the field of solar radiation, conducted a cycle of observations on an astronomical television installation, together with V. K. Rosenbush discovered a new asteroid. She was the head of the NIR topic "Research of physical processes in the nuclei and atmospheres of comets" of the departmental plan of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR for 1981-1985, the topic of contract work, the scientific supervisor for the development of an astronomical television installation in the experimental production of the observatory. During the three years of work at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, she published 7 scientific works. She was a member of the scientific and methodical council of the Kyiv Planetarium, was a scientific informant of the laboratory, gave lectures in the Ukrainian SSR on the line of the "Knowledge" society.
In 1985, together with Y. V. Syzonenko and P. P. Korsun, they observed Halley's Comet. She conducted spectral tracking of the comet on a 6-meter telescope.
In the same 1985, together with L. M. Shulman, they discovered the luminescence of cometary dust.
On June 15, 1988, she was dismissed from the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR in connection with reaching retirement age. And then she continued to work under a fixed-term employment contract as a senior researcher at the Department of Experimental Astrophysics, and then at the Solar Physics Department until the end of 1993. After that, she worked as a senior researcher at the Laboratory of Physics of Low-Temperature Objects.
She died on March 17, 1995 from cancer.
The direction of scientific work is the study of comets, as well as geophysical studies.
Small planet No. 4187 "Shulmazaria" was named after her and her husband L. M. Shulman.
in 2007, together with L. M. Shulman and V. P. Taraschuk, she was posthumously awarded the M. P. Barabashov Prize of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for the series of works "Discovery and research of new physical phenomena in the nuclei and atmospheres of comets".
