Abstract:

An overview of the current activities of the Armenian astronomy, including professional research, University and school education, public outreach and other organizational affairs. We show that present day Armenian astronomy serves as a leader for the regional activities, as well as is among the most advanced and active sciences in Armenia. Moreover, recent achievements during the years 2000-2018 are such that many years efforts since Viktor Ambartsumian’s times were necessary and finally received recognition in various fields. BAO was recognized as National Value, regional astronomical centre, and Markarian Survey was included in UNESCO Memory of the World documentary heritage list. We succeeded to organize a number of important meetings (IAU symposia and colloquium, JENAM, etc.) and establish a series of Byurakan International Summer Schools. We also present the Armenian Astronomical Society’s (ArAS) and IAU South West and Central Asian regional centre’s activities.

General note:

Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (ComBAO) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, which publishes research in observational and theoretical astronomy/astrophysics and presents recent advances in these fields. It is being published by the NAS RA V. Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) in English in electronic form. The journal publishes original papers, review papers, brief reports, book reviews, special communications, observational and theoretical results in various fields of astronomy and related sciences, and some editorial notes, including anniversaries and obituaries. Under the heading “Legacy”, the renewed magazine will republish some old articles of high value in English. The heading “Guest articles” will bring to the attention of readers the articles of researchers who are not employees of BAO. ComBAO was founded in 1946 and regularly published in 1946-1990. However, the publication was interrupted because of the economic situation after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991.
