The absolute magnitude M(v) of the hydrogen deficient binary Upsilon Sgr has been estimated as -4.8 + or - 1.0 from the distribution of the interstellar reddening, polarization, and interstellar lines of the surrounding ...

Scanner observations of the strengths of the G-band stars of CH at λ4300 and of the NH bands at λ3360 were obtained fro 10 weak G-band stars (wG stars) along with 2 normal field giants of spectral types G to K. the ...

DY Cen has shown a steady fading of its visual light by about one magnitude in the last 40 yr, suggesting a secular increase in its effective temperature. We have conducted non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and LTE ...

Several unidentified broad emission features, previously seen only in the spectrum of the nebulosity in the Red Rectangle, have been observed in a spectrum of the R CrB star V854 Cen taken in a deep minimum. Similarities ...

A photoionization code has been developed incorporating provision for the presence of dust mixed with gas. M4-18 has been modelled utilizing optical CCD spectra and other observations ranging from UV to radio wavelengths. ...

Fourier analysis of the light curves of R CrB in the V band near maximum shows that in addition to several significant short periods there is a modulation of the visual light with a period around 1170 days, similar to that ...

The spectral region between 1250–3000 A contains important spectral lines to understand the ˚ morphological structures and evolution of planetary nebulae. This is the region sampled by UVIT through various filter bands ...

Polarimetric observations of HD 30353, SU Tau, XX Cam, R CrB, UV Cas, BD +13°3224, BD +10°2179 and HD 124448 are presented. The linear polarization of HD 30353 is found to vary appreciably at Hα over a time scale as short ...

BVRI polarimetry of AC Her shows that the wavelength dependence of polarization is weak with a marginal increase towards blue and that the position angle is nearly independent of wavelength. It is argued that the interstellar ...
