Notes
All listed persons, including B.A. Vorontsov-Velyaminov, later became heads of departments of the Kolnab community. Parenago became head of the variable stars department.
Before the war, German astronomers were engaged in this activity.
The work was entrusted to SAI and the Astronomical Council of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (now INASAN—Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences).
Today, such stars are more often called T Tauri variables according to another prototype, discovered and studied a little later by Academician V. A. Ambartsumyan.
In 16 of them, B.V. Kukarkin was a co-author or one of the co-authors.
In addition to the name of Pavel Parenago, the refrigerated vessels of the B-437 project bore the names of other prominent scientists: Nicolaus Copernicus, Mikhailo Lomonosov, Pavel Sternberg, Vasilii Fesenkov, Fyodor Bredikhin, Vasilii Struve, Aristarkh Belopolskii, Academicians Khokhlov and Artobolevskii, inventors Ivan Kulibin and Ivan Polzunov.
