SUBBOTIN, MIKHAIL FEDQROVICH (Astronomer) 



M. F. Subbotin was born June 28, 1893. In 1914, he gradu- 

 ated from the University of Warsaw. In 1930, he became a 

 professor at Leningrad University. From 1922 to 1930, he was 

 Director of the Taskhent Observatory. He became, in 1942, the 

 Director of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Institute of Theo- 

 retical Astronomy. He was elected a Corresponding Member 

 of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences in 1946. 



Subbotin has determined the orbits of planets and comets, in- 

 vestigated the general properties of motion of n-bodies, and 

 improved convergence of basic series used in celestial me- 

 chanics. He is the author of a three volume Course on Celestial 

 Mechanics (1933-49) in which all basic sections of celestial me- 

 chanics were presented for the first time in the Russian lan- 

 guage.
