Biography:
He was born on April 5, 1937 in the Kyiv City of Kyiv region of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1959, he graduated from A. M. Gorky Kharkiv University.
In 1962, he became an employee of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR and entered the observatory's graduate program. Its scientific supervisor was professor of Leningrad State University, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR V.V. Sobolev.
In 1965, he defended his candidate's thesis "Some problems of the theory of light scattering in planetary atmospheres" at A. A. Zhdanov Leningrad Order of Lenin State University.
In 1982, he defended his doctoral thesis "Radiation field in heterogeneous planetary atmospheres" at A. A. Zhdanov Leningrad Order of Lenin and Order of the Labor Red Banner State University.
chief researcher of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, professor.
In 1978, his scientific achievements were recognized with a bronze medal at the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy of the USSR, and in 1993 with the M. P. Barabashova.
In 2003, among his co-performers, he was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology for the cycle of research "Development of theoretical foundations and a unique observation base in Holosiiv and Terskol Peak for research of the Sun and the bodies of the Solar System."
In addition to the scientific work of E.H. Yanovitsky paid considerable attention to the training of young scientists. His students now work not only in institutions of Ukraine, but also in the USA, Germany and Russia. For five years, he was a member of the editorial board of the JQSRT magazine, a member of the editorial board of the Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies magazine, the deputy chairman of the specialized scientific council and a member of the expert council on astronomy of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine.
Scientist died on June 23, 2016.
He was a specialist in the theory of radiation transfer in atmospheres with arbitrary optical characteristics, which is relevant for planetary astrophysics.
The most important results of the scientist's work were the formulation of the generalized principle of invariance for environments, from which, as individual cases, the classical principles of invariance of Ambartsumyan and Chandrasekhar derive. It was this principle that allowed him to build the foundations of the analytical theory of transfer in heterogeneous atmospheres. In addition, he managed to establish the existence of a representation of the radiation transfer equation in a new, so-called Q-form. Thanks to the work of the scientist and his students, it became possible to rigorously analyze spectrophotometric and spectropolarimetric observations in order to determine the chemical composition of planetary atmospheres and the physical characteristics of their cloud particles. Based on these works, as well as works on the analysis of the formation of radiation diffusely reflected by the surface layers of atmosphereless celestial bodies, they calculated optical models of Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The results of these works are presented in more than 100 scientific papers and the monograph "Light Scattering in Heterogeneous Atmospheres", which was published in Russian (1995) and in English (1996) by the Springer publishing house. Discovered the global horizontal regular heterogeneity of the cloud layer of Venus.
