Chuhuiv Observational Station

Chuhuiv Observational Station (or Chuguev Observational Station) of the Institute of Astronomy of Kharkiv National University is an astronomical observatory founded in the early 1960s near the village of Ivanovka, Chuhuiv Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine.

In 2022 the observational station was occupied and severely plundered by Russian soldiers, who during 6 months of occupation stole or damaged most of the scientific equipment.

In particular, the observations conducted here significantly contributed to the introduction of H-G1-G2 asteroid magnitude system[8] and to the discovery of the YORP effect for several asteroids.
