Tateos_Agekian
Tateos Artemjevich Agekian (Armenian: Թադևոս Արտեմի Աղեկյան, Russian: Татеос Артемьевич Агекян; 12 May 1913– 16 January 2006) was a Soviet astrophysicist of Armenian descent, and one of the pioneers of Russian and world Stellar dynamics. T. A. Agekian found two evolutionary sequences of stellar systems: nearly spherical and strongly flattened. He suggested essentially a new method to investigate the structure and kinematics of the Milky Way Galaxy. Found a new estimate for the dissipation rate in stellar clusters. Gave an exhaustive analysis of the photogravitational interaction between stars and gas clouds. A planet (3862, "Agekian") was named in honor of Tateos Artemjevich.[1][2]
