Biography:
She was born April 6, 1931 in Moscow City.
The maiden name is Mansurov. This is an ancient noble family, originating from the Tatar Amedotey Shigildevich Mansurov, who left the Horde for Ivan Kalita and received a name at the baptism of Boris.
Father Sergiy Mansurov worked as a bibliographer, in July 1941 she was called to the Red Army's ruins (according to some data, he disappeared) in the Second World War in October 1941. His mother was a geobotanist at the Moscow State University, participated in many expeditions.
As a child, the girl was fond of astronomy and went to visit the circle at the Mokkovsky Planetarium, where she was engaged in astronomical observations, was the secretary of the meteoric section of the circle, listened to lectures on astronomy - in particular, the well-known popularizer of this science, F. Yu. Siegel. There are other pets from this circle who became famous astronomers.
After graduating from school with a medal, in 1948 the girl entered the Moscow State University on the astronomical department, which then was at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of the University. E.P. Fedorov was the head of her diploma work, and then studying in graduate school.
In 1953, having received a red diploma of the Moscow State University in the specialty "Astronomy", entered the postgraduate studies, and then went to Poltava to recruit material for a dissertation, where he met with the future husband Jazeve AI, becoming his wife in 1957, and Being the same until 1971.
And after a while the scientific leader Fedorov E.P. advised her to go to Irkutsk, where they had to bring a new ZTL-180 zenith telescope. Hence, during 1957-1988 she worked at the Observatory of the Irkutsk University, and since 1972, since his appointment, she worked as the director of the Observatory of the ISU and occupied this position until the end of 1988. The main observations were carried out on an anti-aircraft telescope.
In 1961, she at the Moscow State University (SAISh) defended her Ph.D. thesis "Study of systems for the elimination of stars by the results of latitudinal observations."
She also worked as a lecturer in astronomy at the University, and at the Pedagogical Institute in Irkutsk, where he taught in 1976 a general astronomy course in physical and mathematical faculties.
In 1971-1972 she participated in an expedition to Lake Baikal for observations of mesospheric (silvery) clouds, organized by the Department of Surveys of Artificial Earth Satellites, in conjunction with the Department of Geodesy and Cartography of the IDU in the framework of ongoing state-commissioned works for the SibISIMIR of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
In September 1989, doctors diagnosed an already inoperable degree of cancer. Even when he was seriously ill, she continued to work: she supervised the zenith telescope and dehydrated in the house of observers.
Astronomer died on July 23, 1990 in Irkutsk city.
She was an active promoter of astronomy was an active lecturer of the "Knowledge" society, the head of the astronomical circle at the Observatory of the Idea. She was a member of the Regional Council of the All-Union Astronomical and Geodetic Society (WAGT), a member of the Main Council for Astronomy of the Ministry of Education, an active member of the scientific and methodological council of the Irkutsk Planetarium.
She was a specialist in the study of latitude fluctuations, published a number of works on astrometry and methods of teaching astronomy.
In her honor, the asteroid number 6845, which was opened on May 2, 1976, was called "Mansurova".
