THE LIFE AND SCIENTIFIC WORK OF PROFESSOR MSTISLAV SERGIYOVYCH SAWRON (1902\u20131943), A UKRAINIAN ASTROPHYSICIST: A HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY<\/strong><\/p>\n M.A. BALYSHEV Nauka naukozn. 2020, 2(108): 96-124 Section<\/strong>: Science and technology history Sawron was one of the first Ukrainian astronomers who studied variable stars, in particular, Novae in the constellations Hercules, Aquila and Lacerta, which, according to modern data, are intermediate polar (DQ Herculis, V603 Aquilae). The astronomer studied the Delta Cygni triple-star system, observed rare O-type stars, and photographed the famous globular clusters M13 in the constellations Hercules and M15 in the constellation Pegasus, which also contains many variable stars; investigated the long-period comet Johnson (1936).<\/p>\n At the Kharkiv Astronomical Observatory Sawron performed a fundamental research work devoted to the problem of photographic rays\u2019 absorption in the Earth\u2019s atmosphere. As part of the delegation of Kharkiv astronomers, he took part in the observations of the so-called \u00abThe Great Soviet Solar Eclipse\u00bb \u2014 the total Solar Eclipse of 1936.<\/p>\n Examples of cooperation of an astronomer with leading scientists of the Kharkiv Astronomical Observatory prof. B.P. Gerasimovich, prof. M.P. Barabashov, B.E. Semeykin and P.G. Parkhomenko; Sawron\u2019s participation in the development of the instrumental base of the observatory were provided.<\/p>\n The administrative and pedagogical activity of the scientist in institutions of higher education is considered: at Gorky Kharkiv State University, Skovoroda Kharkiv State Pedagogical Institute, in particular as dean of the geographical and physical-mathematical faculties, head of the department of astronomy.<\/p>\n The activity of prof. M.S. Sawron during the Second World War, his participation in the organization of the Council of Sciences in Kharkiv and his work in the Scientific and technical office during the German occupation of the city in 1941\u20141943 are substantiated by documents.<\/p>\n Keywords<\/strong>: astrophysics, galaxy, minor planet, variable stars, DQ Herculis, nebula, \u00abThe Great Soviet Solar Eclipse\u00bb, extragalactic objects, Kharkiv Astronomical Observatory, Kharkiv State University, Kharkiv State Pedagogical Institute.<\/strong><\/p>\n References<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAbstract<\/strong>: The article focuses on the studying the life and work of the Ukrainian astronomer M.S. Sawron, a specialist in the field of galactic and extragalactic astronomy. This research paper has highlighted the stages of the scientific path of a talented scientist, an astronomer-observer, who studied the physical conditions of the Sun, successfully photographed the minor planets and asteroids of the main belt (Aquitania, Vesta, Iris, Flora, Ceres), implemented a series of long-term observations of variable stars.<\/p>\n\n
