  • Clues on the X-ray emission mechanism of blazars PKS 2155−304 and 3C 454.3 through polarization studies 
    Bharathan, Athira M; Stalin, C. S; Sahayanathan, S; Mathew, B (Elsevier B.V, 2026-02)
    X-ray polarization measurable with the imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) could constrain the long debated leptonic versus hadronic origin for the high energy component in the broad band spectral energy distribution ...
  • Modelling the scattering by porous aggregate dust grains in the far-ultraviolet halos of spica and achernar 
    Choudhury, Nilanjana Dey; Shalima, P; Keerthana, U; Murthy, J (Elsevier B.V, 2026-02)
    Far-Ultraviolet (FUV) halos have been detected around six bright stars by Murthy and Henry (2011) using GALEX observations. These halos are thought to be caused by forward scattering of the starlight by dust grains present ...
