  • Large dust grains in the dark cloud B5 
    Bhatt, H. C (Royal Astronomical Society, 1986-09)
    Polarization measurements of stars in the region of the dark cloud B5 indicate that the average dust grain size in the cloud is much larger than the mean interstellar grain size. Within the cloud, the average grain size ...

    Soam, A; Maheswar, G; Lee, C. W; Dib, S; Bhatt, H. C; Tamura, M; Kim, G (EDP Sciences, 2015-01)
    Aims. We carried out optical polarimetry of five dense cores, (IRAM 04191, L1521F, L328, L673-7, and L1014) which are found to harbour very low luminosity objects (VeLLOs; Lint ≲ 0.1 L⊙). This study was conducted mainly ...

    Soam, A; Maheswar, G; Bhatt, H. C; Won Lee, C; Ramaprakash, A. N (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013-06-21)
    We present results of our R-band polarimetry of a cometary globule, LBN 437 (Gal 96-15, ℓ = 96°, b = −15°), to study the magnetic field geometry of the cloud. We estimated a distance of 360 ± 65 pc to LBN 437 (also one ...
  • Magnetic fields in cometary globules. I. CG 22 
    Sridharan, T. K; Bhatt, H. C; Rajagopal, J (Royal Astronomical Society, 1996-04)
    We report first results from a program to study magnetic fields in cometary globules (CGs). These are clouds near massive stars showing a head-tail morphology. Linear optical polarization measurements on stars seen projected ...
  • Measurements of linear polarization of some Herbig Ae/Be stars 
    Jain, S. K; Bhatt, H. C; Sagar, R (The American Physical Society, 1990-05)
    The linear polarization of eight bright Herbig Ae/Be stars in UBVRI bands has been measured. No unique wavelength dependence of polarization magnitude or direction is found in these measurements. Comparison with earlier ...
  • A method to determine distances to molecular clouds using near-IR photometry 
    Maheswar, G; Lee, C. W; Bhatt, H. C; Mallik, S. G. V; Dib, S (EDP Sciences, 2010-01)
    We aim to develop a method to determine distances to molecular clouds using JHK near-infrared photometry. Methods: The method is based on a technique that aids spectral classification of stars lying towards the fields ...
  • A new look at the OB associations and star clusters in the Puppis-Vela region using HIPPARCOS data 
    Subramaniam, A; Bhatt, H. C (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    The Puppis-Vela region contains a few OB associations and young star clusters which are the imprints of recent star formation. As this region comprises of many star clusters in the line of sight, accurate distance and ...
  • Non-emission-line young stars of intermediate mass 
    Manoj, P; Maheswar, G; Bhatt, H. C (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002-08)
    We present optical spectra of four intermediate-mass candidate young stellar objects that have often been classified as Herbig Ae/Be stars. Typical Herbig Ae/Be emission features are not present in the spectra of these ...
  • On the evolution of irradiated turbulent clouds: a comparative study between modes of triggered star formation 
    Anathpindika, S; Bhatt, H. C (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-12)
    Gas within molecular clouds (MCs) is turbulent and unevenly distributed. Interstellar shocks such as those driven by strong fluxes of ionizing radiation (IR) profoundly affect MCs. While small dense MCs exposed to a strong ...
  • On the interaction of a thin, supersonic shell with a molecular cloud 
    Anathpindika, S; Bhatt, H. C (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-04)
    Molecular Clouds (MCs) are stellar nurseries; however, formation of stars within MCs depends on the ambient physical conditions. MCs, over a free-fall time, are exposed to numerous dynamical phenomena, of which, the ...
