  • The Search for another earth 
    Sengupta, S (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016-07)
    Is there life anywhere else in the vast cosmos?Are there planets similar to the Earth? For centuries,these questions baffled curious minds. Eithera positive or negative answer, if found oneday, would carry a deep philosophical ...

    Sengupta, S (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016-10)
    In the first part, we discussed the various methods for thedetection of planets outside the solar system known as theexoplanets. In this part, we will describe various kinds ofexoplanets. The habitable planets discovered ...
  • The search for binary black holes in Seyferts with double peaked emission lines

  • Search for coronal temperature variation in Seyfert galaxies 
    Pal, Indrani; Stalin, C. S (Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society, 2023-01)
    While the temperature of the X-ray corona (kTe) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is known for many sources, its variation if any is limited to a handful of objects. This is in part due to the requirement of good signal-to-noise ...
  • A search for diffuse bands in fullerene planetary nebulae: evidence of diffuse circumstellar bands 
    Diaz-Luis, J. J; Garcia-Hernandez, D. A; Kameswara Rao, N; Manchado, A; Cataldo, F (EDP Sciences, 2015-01)
    Large fullerenes and fullerene-based molecules have been proposed as carriers of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). The recent detection of the most common fullerenes (C60 and C70) around some planetary nebulae (PNe) now ...
  • Search for HI Reionization Epoch in the Early Universe 
    Swarup, G (Astronomical Society of India, 2003)
    One of the most challenging problems in astronomy today is to search for reionization of the neutral hydrogen (HI), which is expected to occur somewhere between redshifts of about 6 to 20. The reionization is likely to ...
  • Search for Hydrogen-alpha Emitting Cool Pockets in Corona During the Total Solar Eclipse of October 24, 1995 
    Cowsik, R; Singh, J; Raju, K. P; Saxena, A. K; Samson, J. P. A; Naidu, B. N (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1997)
    Narrow pass band hydrogen alpha filtergrams were obtained during totality at Kalpi, to look for cool pockets of H-alpha emission in corona first observed by Bappu and Bhattacharyya during the 1970 Mexican eclipse observations. ...
  • A search for intra-night optical variability in radio-quiet QSOs 
    Gopal-Krishna; Sagar, R; Witta, P. J (Royal Astronomical Society, 1993-06-15)
    We report results from a new program, using the 2.34-m Vainu Bappu Telescope, to search for intra-night optical variability in five QSOs which are radio-quiet but optically bright and luminous. Our limited data show mild ...
  • Search for Lithium-Rich Stars Among G-K Giants with IR-excess 
    Jasniewicz, G; Parthasarathy, M; de Laverny, P; Thevenin, F; Mauron, N; Chadid, M (International Astronomical Union, 2000)
    We report here new results about a search for Li- rich stars among 52 G-K giant stars which are known to have near IR excess. Eleven giants have been found to have loge (Li)≥ 1.0. Five are new Li-rich stars. We suspect ...
  • Search for low-mass companions to solar-type stars 
    Venugopal, V. R (Astronomical Society of India, 1998)
  • Search for low-mass objects in the globular cluster M4. I. detection of variable stars 
    Safonova, M; Mkrtichian, D; Hasan, P; Sutaria, F. K; Brosch, N; Gorbikov, E; Joseph, P (IOP Publishing, 2016-02)
    With every new discovery of an extrasolar planet, the absence of planets in globular clusters ( GCs ) becomes more and more conspicuous. Null detection of transiting hot Jupiters in GCs 47 Tuc, ω Cen, and NGC 6397 ...
  • Search for Mechanisms of Solar Magnetism 
    Gokhale, M. H (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    Study of 'Solar magnetism' (totality of solar magnetic phenomena on idfferent scales) and its 'mechanisms' (physical processes responsible for the phenomena) is obviously essential for the advancement of solar and ...
  • Search for Microlensing Events Towards M31 Galaxy 
    Joshi, Y. C; Pandey, A. K; Narasimha, D; Sagar, R (Astronomical Society of India, 2001)
    M31, the prominent galaxy of the Local Group, is located at a distance of about 700 kpc. Due to its convenient orientation, it is an alluring target for gravitational microlensing to search for massive astrophysical compact ...
