  • On the intrinsic rotation of magnetic variables 
    Rajamohan, R; Babu, G. S. D (Royal Astronomical Society, 1978-03)
    It is observed that the rotational velocities of most Ap stars are dependent on their masses. Deviations from this general rule may be explained in terms of multiplicity which affects the derived colors and radii. Spectroscopic ...

    Babu, G. S. D; Shylaja, B. S (D. Reidel Publishing Co., 1983-01)
    The radii of several Ap and Am stars have been compared with those of the normal A stars of the main sequence. Though the brighter Ap stars have a little larger radii than the main sequence stars, they may not be much ...
