Main area of activity of organization: |
- Complex investigation of non-stationary processes on stars;
- Solar physics, solar-terrestrial relations;
- Physics and dynamics of solar system bodies.
|
 |
Main scientific achievements made over
the last five years: |
More than 2000 spectra of stars were obtained, processed and
analyzed; periodical variabilities were discovered in the atmospheres of several stars;
new electronic cometary catalogue was created and on its base unknown effects in the comet
system were determined; chemical content of some asteroids was studied; theory of
non-adiabatic oscillations in the solar atmosphere was developed; scintillation of
transionospheric high-frequency radio signals and its dependence on the solar activity was
proposed; new observational systems and light receivers were created; total solar
eclipse is observed at 1999; 8 conferences were organized which were devoted to 800-years
anniversary of N.Tusi; 11 books and 18 scientific journals were published in ShAO. |
