  • Far-ultraviolet scattering by dust in Orion 
    Shalima, P; Sujatha, N. V; Murthy, J; Henry, R. C; Sahnow, D. J (Blackwell Publishing, 2006-04)
    We have modelled diffuse far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectrum observed by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) near M42 as the scattering of the starlight from the Trapezium stars by dust in front of the nebula. The ...
  • GALEX observations of diffuse UV radiation at high spatial resolution from the Sandage Nebulosity 
    Sujatha, N. V; Murthy, J; Karnataki, A; Henry, R. C; Bianchi, L (The American Astronomical Society, 2009-02)
    We have observed a region of nebulosity first identified as starlight scattered by interstellar dust by Sandage using the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet imaging telescope. Apart from airglow and zodiacal ...
  • Intense Diffuse Far-Ultraviolet Emission from the Orion Nebula 
    Murthy, J; Sahnow, D. J; Henry, R. C (American Astronomical Society, 2005-01)
    We present spectra of the diffuse far-UV (900-1200 Å) emission from a region near the Orion Nebula: the first high-resolution spectra of the diffuse background radiation. These observations were made using serendipitous ...
  • Mapping the Diffuse Ultraviolet Sky with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer 
    Murthy, J; Henry, R. C; Sujatha, N. V (IOP Publishing, 2010-12)
    We present a map of the diffuse ultraviolet cosmic background in two wavelength bands (FUV: 1530 Å and NUV: 2310 Å) over almost 75% of the sky using archival data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) mission. Most ...
  • A model of the stellar radiation field in the UV 
    Sujatha, N. V; Chakraborty, P; Murthy, J; Henry, R. C (Astronomical Society of India, 2004-09)
    This work is the first step in a systematic effort to understand and predict the different components of the UV (912 A - 3000 A) radiation field over the entire sky. We have developed a model to predict the ISRF in the UV ...
  • MSX Observations of Diffuse UV Emission in Orion 
    Murthy, J; Henry, R. C; Paxton, L. J; Price, S. D (Astronomical Society of India, 2001)
    We have observed intense diffuse radiation in the UV (1400 Å - 2600 Å) from three fields around M42 in Orion. Intensities of 20000 photons cm-2 sr-1 s-1 Å-1 were observed to the east and west of M42 with 8000 photons cm-2 ...
  • The mystery of the cosmic diffuse ultraviolet background radiation 
    Henry, R. C; Murthy, J; Overduin, James; Tyler, Joshua (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2015-01-01)
    The diffuse cosmic background radiation in the Galaxy Evolution Explorer far-ultraviolet (FUV, 1300-1700 Å) is deduced to originate only partially in the dust-scattered radiation of FUV-emitting stars: the source of a ...
  • Proposed SMEX to spectrally analyze the diffuse x-ray background: The Baryonic Extragalactic Structure Tracer (BEST) 
    Sanders, W. T; Henry, R. C; Bregman, J. N; Cen, R; Cox, D. P; Croft, R. A. C; Hammond, E. C; Hurwitz, M. V; McKee, C; Kimble, R. A; Porter, F. S; Serlemitsos, P. J; Stahle, C. K; Murthy, J; Raymond, J. C; Smith, R. K; Szymkowiak, A. E (SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering., 2003-03)
    The Baryonic Extragalactic Structure Tracer (BEST) is a SMEX-class mission that is designed to map the hot million-degree diffuse intergalactic and interstellar gas with high spectral resolution. It consists of an imaging ...
  • Upper Limits on O VI Emission From Voyager Observations 
    Murthy, J; Henry, R. C; Shelton, R. L; Holberg, J. B (American Astronomical Society, 2001-08)
    We have examined 426 Voyager fields distributed across the sky for O VI λλ1032, 1038 emission from the Galactic diffuse interstellar medium. No such emission was detected in any of our observed fields. Our most constraining ...
