    We propose to carry out studies on the properties of inter- stellar dust using TAUVEX. Through the multi-band TAUVEX observations, particularly with the use of filters optimized for extinction observations of the 2175 ° ...
  • IRAS observations of R Cor Bor stars 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Nandy, K (Royal Astronomical Society, 1986-09)
    The IRAS observations of R Cr B, SU Tau and V 348 Sgr indicate the existence of a cool dust component of temperature about 30 K in R Cr B and SU Tau and less than or equal to 100 K in V 348 Sgr, in addition to the hot dust. ...
  • Is DZ Andromedae an R Coronae Borealis variable? 
    Goswami, A; Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L (The Observatory, 1998-08)
    The variable star DZ Andromedae has been suspected to be an R Coronae Borealis variable. Our analysis of a high-resolution spectrum shows that the star has been misclassified: the spectrum resembles that of a K giant. We ...
  • Is HR 2947 a variable? 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Ashok, N. M; Kulkarni, P. V (Astronomical Society of India, 1981-06)
    Observations of HR 2947 show that it is fainter by 0.3 mag in V compared to the magnitude listed by Cowley et al. (1969). The energy distribution from 1565 Armstrong to 1.25 micro is similar to that of a B5 III star and ...

  • The lithium in weak G-band stars 
    Parthasarathy, M; Kameswara Rao, N (D. Reidel Publishing Co., 1980-11)
    The lithum abundance in weak G-band stars is found to be linearly correlated with CH deficiency. Weak G-band stars with a high Li abundance are found to show relatively least carbon deficiency, while the stars with a ...
