SCIENTIFIC LEGACY OF PROFESSOR GUSEINOV OKTAY HANGUSEIN

Abstract

Professor Oktay Guseinov is an outstanding astrophysicist, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Oktay Guseinov is the founder of relativistic astrophysics in the Republic of Azerbaijan and established the first scientific school in this area in Azerbaijan. After graduating from university in 1963, O. Guseinov began his scientific career under the guidance of the world-renowned scientist, physicist, and physical chemist Academician Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich in Moscow. Three-time Hero of the Soviet Union, Ya.B.Zeldovich was one of the creators of the atomic and hydrogen bombs and the famous Soviet rocket "Katyusha". He was a student of Lev Landau. O.Guseinov was fortunate to interact and work with such a brilliant scientist and his circle. As a result of his
scientific activities, O.Guseinov made significant contributions to astrophysics, radio, and X-ray astronomy - contributions that play an important role in the development of these fields of modern science. He had foresight in science; relying on his knowledge, he could predict what might be occurring in space. With the advancement of technology, observational data confirmed the reality
of the objects and scientific phenomena predicted by O.Guseinov. It is enoughto list some of them to understand the magnitude of his scientific legacy.
