239 MEL'NIKOV 



Sciences Astronomical Observatory (Pulkovo). In the same 

 year, he was elected to the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences as a 

 Corresponding Member. He was awarded the degree of Doctor 

 of Physico-Math Sciences in 1945. 



Mel'nikov's principal works are concerned with stellar and 

 solar physics, interstellar matter, construction of astronomi- 

 cal apparatus, and the history of astrophysics and astronomical 

 equipment building.
