YEREVAN, August 20. /ARKA/. A school of young astrophysicists will be established in Armenia in 2008. The event will be timed to the 100th anniversary of the renowned scientist, Academician Viktor Hambartsumian, Academician of the RA National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Yuri Chilingarian reported during the opening ceremony of the Joint European and National Astronomy Meeting-2007 (JENAM).
According to Aram Simonian, Rector of the Yerevan State University (YSU), the meeting allows young astrophysicists and students to come in touch with each other and get involved into international research projects, as well as guides them in the labor market.
“We hope the ideas shared during the JENAM-2007 will be embodied both in the activities of the YSU’s Faculty of Astrophysics and research programs and cooperation projects of Byurakan Observatory of Astrophysics,” he said.
According to Avetis Sadoyan, Professor in the department of Astrophysics, in the course of the activities of eight symposiums and six scientific groups of JENAM-2007, students and young specialists will be given an opportunity to get acquainted with the world situation in the sphere of astrophysics, as well as to establish contacts both in Armenia and abroad.
Organized by the joint efforts of the Yerevan Astronomical Society and Armenian Astronomical Society, JENAM-2007(August 20-25) is being held in Armenia under the slogan “Our non-Stable Universe”. About 300 scientists from 37 countries participate in it.
Byurakan Observatory of Astrophysics was founded in 1946 on the mountain Aragats. The bloom of the Armenian astronomy is connected with the renowned scientist Academician Viktor Hambartsumian.
The results of researches carried out in Byurakan were recognized worldwide and became basis of new branches in physics.
Viktor Hambartsumian (1908–1996) lay down the foundations of the quantitative model of processes running in gaseous nebula under the influence of stars.
He is the founder of the theory of the radiative equilibrium, including important cases of metastable state in nebulas (the existence of the so-called forbidden lines of absorption). Hambartsumian’s researches lay down the foundations of the statistic mechanics of stellar systems (binary and multiple stars). Z. Sh. –0--
