  • Tracing hierarchical star formation out to kiloparsec scales in nearby spiral galaxies with UVIT 
    Shashank, Gairola; Subramanian, S; Muraleedharan, Sreedevi; Menon, Shyam H; Mondal, Chayan; Krishna, Sriram; Mousumi Das; Subramaniam, A (EDP Sciences, 2025-01)
    Molecular clouds fragment under the action of supersonic turbulence and gravity, which results in a scale-free hierarchical distribution of star formation within galaxies. Recent studies suggest that the hierarchical ...
  • A compilation of optical starlight polarization catalogs 
    Panopoulou, G. V; Markopoulioti, L; Bouzelou, F; Millar-Blanchaer, M. A; Tinyanont, S; Blinov, D; Pelgrims, V; Johnson, S; Skalidis, R; Archana Soam (American Astronomical Society, 2025-01)
    Polarimetry of stars at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an invaluable tool for tracing interstellar dust and magnetic fields. Recent studies have demonstrated the power of combining stellar polarimetry with distances ...
  • Bar formation and destruction in the FIRE-2 simulations 
    Ansar, Sioree; Pearson, Sarah; Sanderson, Robyn E; Arora, Arpit; Hopkins, Philip F; Wetzel, Andrew; Cunningham, Emily C; Quinn, Jamie (American Astronomical Society, 2025-01-01)
    The physical mechanisms responsible for bar formation and destruction in galaxies remain a subject of debate. While we have gained valuable insight into how bars form and evolve from isolated idealized simulations, in the ...
  • Gravitational physics in the context of Indian astronomy: A vision document 
    Ajith, P; Arun, K. G; Bose, Sukanta; Chakraborty, Sumanta; Desai, Shantanu; Gopakumar, A; Kolekar, Sanved; Nayak, Rajesh; Pai, Archana; Sarkar, Sudipta; Bagla, Jasjeet Singh; Gupta, Patrick Das; Kashyap, Rahul; Kocherlakota, Prashant; Kumar, Prayush; Mukhopadhyay, Banibrata (Springer Nature, 2025-06)
    Contributions from the Indian gravity community have played a significant role in shaping several branches of astronomy and astrophysics. This document reviews some of the most important contributions and presents a vision ...
  • Automated detection of galactic rings from sloan digital sky survey images 
    Abraham, Linn; Abraham, Sheelu; Kembhavi, A. K; Philip, N. S; Aniyan, A. K; Barway, Sudhanshu; Kumar, Harish (American Astronomical Society, 2025-01-10)
    Morphological features in galaxies—like spiral arms, bars, rings, and tidal tails, etc.—carry information about their structure, origin, and evolution. It is therefore important to catalog and study such features and to ...
