The study covered a complete bibliographic analysis of works published by M. Evdokymov who performed regular observations of variable stars, comets, meteor showers, lunar and solar eclipses; explored the Mercury transit of the Sun; carried out seismic research and regular research of astronomical instruments; contributed to the efforts on determining the positions of reference stars for the asteroid (433) Eros.<\/p>\n The research and pedagogical work of prof.

\nAbstract:<\/strong> The article is devoted to the investigation of facts from the scientific biography of Mykola Evdokymov, an outstanding Ukrainian astrometrician. The research effort of this talented scientist and research administrator was focused on explorations of the zodiacal and weak circumpolar stars, the inference of their parallax; the determination of the direct rises and declinations of the reference star and the large planets of the Solar System. Despite a number of biographical publications covering some aspects of the astronomer\u2019s research, administrative and pedagogical activities, a comprehensive study reproducing his complete scientific biography could not be found. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to sum up the results of comprehensive historiographic research on the life and work of the astronomer professor Mykola Evdokymov.<\/p>\n\n
