ZVEREV, MITROFAN STEPANQVICH (Astronomer) 



M. S. Zverev was born April 16, 1903. In 1929, he graduated 

 from the Moscow Conservatory, and in 1931 from Moscow Uni- 

 versity. From 1931-1951, he worked at the Shternberg State 

 Astronomical Institute in Moscow. He was a member of the 

 teaching staff at Moscow University from 1938-1952, and was 

 made professor in 1948. In 1951 he was appointed deputy Di- 

 rector of U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Main Astronomical 

 Observatory in Pulkovo. He was elected to the U.S.S.R. Acade- 

 my of Sciences as a Corresponding Member in 1953. Since 

 1947 he has been a member of the Communist Party of the 

 Soviet Union. 



For many years Zverev made observations on the meridian 

 circle in Moscow and Pulkovo. He compiled a series of cata- 

 logs on stars, including a catalog on geodesic stars, a catalog 

 on fundamental, faint stars. Zverev developed an idea of a new 

 fundamental system of coordinates— a catalog on faint stars. 

 He also worked on time service, gravimetry and on variable 

 stars. 



In May 1959, Zverev visited the United States to attend the 

 Second World Astrometric Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.
