About
V. Krushinskiy is a key figure in high-energy astrophysics, specializing in the optical and polarimetric monitoring of microquasars and black hole binaries. His most impactful work centers on the 2015 superburst of V404 Cyg/GS 2023+338, one of the most dramatic outbursts from a stellar-mass black hole ever recorded. Krushinskiy led a monumental observational campaign using the MASTER global network of robotic telescopes—a system of 16 instruments across eight sites in Russia, Spain, and South Africa. This effort produced over 2,070 unique, homogeneous photometric and polarization observations, providing an unprecedented dataset for studying the accretion and jet physics of this microquasar. His 2019 paper on this campaign, with 5 citations, remains a cornerstone reference for understanding black hole outburst dynamics. Krushinskiy’s work demonstrates the power of global robotic telescope networks in capturing rare, high-cadence astrophysical events, and his contributions have advanced the study of relativistic jets and accretion flows in binary systems.
