The Isaac Newton Institute Armenian Branch has been founded in June 2000 wishing to contribute to further development of scientific research in observational and theoretical astrophysics in Armenia. The results of the research conducted by the scientists of the Isaac Newton Institute Armenian Branch are being submitted for publication to the three most prestigious journals in astronomy, namely the Astrophysical Journal and the Astronomical Journal in the United States, and Astronomy and Astrophysics in Europe.

 

At present, 24 researchers make up the INI Armenian Branch staff.

6 research groups have been created in the Branch for more purposeful work. The subjects and heads are: Physics and Evolution of Stars (T.Yu. Magakian), Variable Stars (N.D. Melikian), Physics and Evolution of Galaxies (A.R. Petrosian), Surveys and Studies of New Objects (A.M. Mickaelian), Observational Cosmology (H.A. Harutyunian), Theoretical Astrophysics (A.G.
