The Armenian astronomers summed up the results of 2012. It was a very
eventful year, full of new scientific discoveries and achievements,
and scientists worked hard this year, despite insufficient amounts of
money allocated to the sphere, according to information of the
Armenian Astronomical Society.
The staff of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory has achieved a
number of significant scientific results: hundreds of new cosmic
bodies were discovered, 35 studies were published in influential
international journals, and 13 electronic catalogs were released. The
scientists of the Byurakan Observatory closely cooperate with
astronomical centers of France, Germany, Italy, the U.S., Russia, and
other countries. The observatory was granted status of a national
value and now it is one of Armenia's four scientific, cultural and
educational establishments with such status (the Matenadaran, Yerevan
State University, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, and the
Byurakan Observatory).
Young Armenian astronomers took part in number of youth conferences
and summer schools. An Astronomy Olympiad of CIS Countries was held in
September at Yerevan PhysMatch School. The young Armenian participants
won 6 out of 16 medals.
