Biography:

He was born on March 6, 1948 in the urban-type village of Kulykivtsi of Kulikivsky district of Chernihiv region of Ukrainian SSR.

In 1967-1972 pp. studied at T.G. Shevchenko Kyiv Order of Lenin State University, graduated from the Department of Astronomy and Space Physics.

During 1972-1974 pp. was in active military service (senior radar technician).

Since August 1974 onwards, life is connected with the Main Astronomical Observatory of HAH of Ukraine: during August-October 1974 he work as engineer; during November 1974 - November 1977 was graduate student; during 1977—2013 he was junior researcher, researcher, since October 9, 2002, senior researcher, head of the department.

In 1983, he defended his candidate's thesis "Determination of proper motions and kinematic characteristics of stars in systems of the Orion Trapezium type" in the specialty "Astrometry and celestial mechanics" at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.

In 2002, he defended his doctoral thesis at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the specialty "Astrometry and Celestial Mechanics" on the topic "Optical realization of the celestial coordinate system according to the data of international programs of CSZ and FON".

During 2003-2013, he was the head of the astrometry department of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

On September 25, 2019, he died of a long illness.

He is a well-known specialist in the creation of specialized astrometric catalogs.

In 2000, together with V.S. Kislyuk, G.O. Ivanov, L.K. Pakulyak, T.P. Sergeeva, based on the observations made at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences as part of the FON program, an astrographic catalog of FONAK was created, containing the positions, proper motions, and BVR-photometry of 2 million stars in the northern sky.

In 2001, together with S. P. Rybka, they created a summary catalog (GPM) of the absolute proper motions of 52'805 stars in 185 regions of the sky with galaxies (KSZ plan), which contains their exact positions and photometric data. The catalog is posted in the International Astronomical Data Center (Strasbourg) and on the MAO website.

Together with S.P. Rybka, S.N. Kharchenko conducted a study of the kinematics of the Galaxy and its individual components based on the data of the series of special star catalogs created in the department.

With the resumption of research in the observatory of the Kharkiv University of research in the field of stellar and extragalactic astronomy, during 1996-2007, he, together with A. I. Pisarenko and V. A. Zahozhai, developed an algorithm and based it on calculations of models of the internal structure of substars for all possible mass intervals and elemental composition.
