Yakiv Volodymyrovych Pavlenko ((1954-01-24)24 January 1954 – (2024-10-19)19 October 2024) was a Ukrainian astronomer and astrophysicist, who researched low-mass stars and exocomets.

Early life and education

[edit]

He was born in 1954 in Makalevychi [uk] village, Zhytomyr region, Ukraine.[1] Pavlenko graduated from Kyiv University in 1976 with a Master's degree in Astronomy and Physics.[2] He was a student of Mykola Avenirovych Yakovkin, a son of Avenir Aleksandrovich Yakovkin.[3]

Pavlenko was an Aspirant at Tartu Observatory (Estonia) in 1979–1982, where he received a Candidate of Sciences degree in Astrophysics and Radioastronomy in 1984.[4][5] He received a Doctor of Science degree in Astrophysics and Radioastronomy at MAO NASU in 1996.[1]

Career and research

[edit]

Pavlenko worked at the Main Astronomy Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine [uk] (MAO NASU) from 1983.[citation needed] From 1994, he was a Senior Research Fellow.[1] From 2017, Pavlenko headed the Department of Physics of Substellar and Planetary Systems of MAO NASU.[6] In 2023, Pavlenko become Chief Research Fellow at the Department of Physics of Substellar and Planetary Systems of MAO NASU.[7]

Beginning in 1989, Pavlenko collaborated with the research group on Exoplanets and Astrobiology of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).[8][9]

In January 2020, Mario Damasso and colleagues published a paper[10] on the discovery of Proxima Centauri c, the second exoplanet near Proxima Centauri.[11] To exclude fluctuations in spectrum resulted of red dwarf flare activity, Damasso used research work[12] by Pavlenko and others at IAC on analysing spectrography data of HARPS mission.[13][14][15]

In 2022, a paper with the results of exocomets research and discovery of 5 new exocomets,[16] written by Pavlenko together with others at MAO NASU, was published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.[17][18] In autumn of that year, he visited IAC to model the atmospheres of brown dwarf and exoplanets objects.[9][19]

In addition to his research work, Pavlenko was a lecturer[20] and examiner,[21] and was one of editors of the journal Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies [uk].[22][23][24] From 2023, he was an expert adviser to the Science at Risk! project,[25] a Ukrainian digital platform that disseminates information on the effects of war on scientific research in Ukraine.[26]

Personal life

[edit]

Pavlenko's wife had a PhD in astrophysics; they had a daughter.[1]

Yakiv Pavlenko died on 19 October 2024, at the age of 70. Yaroslav Yatskiv [uk] published an obituary on the MAO NASU site.[27]
