Rolan I. Kiladze (Georgian:როლან კილაძე; September 24, 1931 – February 22, 2010) was aGeorgian astronomer, aDoctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (1982), and aCorresponding Member of theNational Academy of Sciences of Georgia (1988).
A documentaryRed Stars was made about Kiladze.[citation needed] The minor Planet 4737 was named “Kiladze” in his honor,[1] and one of thedwarf planetPluto'scraters was named after him by theInternational Astronomical Union for his contributions to the study of Pluto'sphotometry,astrometry anddynamics in 2019.
Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory. In 1962 he received a degree of aDoctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Since 1988 he was aCorresponding Member of theGeorgian Academy of Sciences. From 2001 to 2006 R. Kiladze was a director of theNational Astrophysical Observatory of Georgia.
R. Kiladze also was engaged in pedagogical activity at theI. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (1962-2006), at theSulkhan-Saba Orbeliani Pedagogical University (1985-1990), and from 2007 to 2010 he was aprofessor at theIlya State University.
Since 1964 he was a member of theInternational Astronomy Society, and since 1982 - a member of the European Astronomical Council. For many years he was a Deputy Chairman of theGeorgian Astronautics Committee and Vice President of the Georgian Astronomical Society.
Rolan Kiladze studied the movement and origin of theSolar System bodies. He developed a universal formula for determining the length of the day-night time for distantplanets (1965).
Rolan Kiladze determined the mass of thedwarf planetPluto (1967).
Rolan Kiladze calculated the thickness of the rings of the planetSaturn (1969), which was confirmed in 1995 by the observations of theHubble Space Telescope.
Rolan Kiladze detected the signs of existence of theatmosphere on the planetMercury (1974).
Rolan Kiladze discovered asupernova in theconstellation Cygnus (1975).
Roland Kiladze suggested that Pluto was still undergoing the process of formation and was still surrounded by particles. He predicted the existence of the Pluto'smoonCharon a year before its discovery (1977).
Rolan Kiladze developed a theory about the modern rotations of the planets which was confirmed in 2005 by the discovery of two more moons of Pluto (1986).
Rolan Kiladze with colleagues from St. Petersburg worked out the theory of movement ofgeosynchronous satellites (2001).
Rolan Kiladze discovered the phenomenon of regularity of theorbits of satellite debris (2004). On the basis of this discovery, the theoretical possibility of collecting of the "space debris" was created.
Rolan Kiladze found the criterion for predicting anasteroid collision with Earth based on only two positional observations (2004).
R. I. Kiladze is the author of the monograph “Modern Rotation of Planets, as a Result of Development of Small Particles” (1986), “Theory of Movement of Geostationary Satellites” (2008) and the textbook for students “Theoretical Astrophysics.” He is the author of three catalogues for geostationary satellites and more than 150 scientific articles.
