ODESSA SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL OF RESEARCHERS OF VARIABLE STARS: FROM V.P.TSESEVICH (1907-1983) TO OUR DAYS
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue
Abstract
The biography of Vladimir Platonovich Tsesevich (11.11.1907 – 28.10.1983), a leader of the astronomy in Odessa from 1944 to 1983, is briefly reviewed, as well as the directions of study, mainly the highlights of the research of variable stars carried out by the members of the scientific school founded by him. The directions of these studies cover a very wide range of variability types – “magnetic” and “non-magnetic” cataclysmic variables,symbiotic, X-Ray and other interacting binaries, classical eclipsers and “extreme direct impactors”, pulsating variables from DSct and RR through C and RV to SR and M.Improved algorithms and programs have been elaborated for statistically optimal phenomenological and physical modeling. Initially these studies in Odessa were inspired by ("with a capital letter") Vladimir Platonovich Tsesevich. who was a meticulous Scientist and brilliant Educator, thorough Author and the intelligibly explaining Popularizer,persevering Organizer and cheerful Joker – a true Professor and Teacher. He was “the Poet of the Starry Heavens”.

RESEARCH OF THE LONG-TERM BEHAVIOUR OF THE PLEIADES BY USING OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES FROM UKRVO DIGITAL ARCHIVE AND BALDONE OBSERVATORY
The Pleiades Star Cluster (M45) is one of the most studied star clusters in the galaxy. At the same time as part of the Pleiades are many long-period variable stars, including flashing that need further study. Recent wor...
PHASE PLANE ANALYSIS OF THE PHOTOMETRICAL VARIATIONS OF LONG-PERIOD VARIABLES
Using the phase plane diagrams, the phase light curves of a group of the Mira-type stars and semi-regular variables are analyzed. As generalized coordinates х and ẋ, we have used m – the brightne...

In the present work we have computed and have compared the on- and off- generations in low and high mass accretion rate accretion disks. The comparison shows that in the case of low mass accretion rate in disk (10−10 sola...
