  • Some observational aspects of R Coronae Borealis Stars 
    Kameswara Rao, N (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)
    Some of the observational aspects related to the evolutionary status and dust production in R Cor Bor stars are discussed. Recent work regarding the surface abundances, stellar winds and evidence for dust production in ...
  • Some Spectroscopic Problems of Coronae Borealis Stars 
    Kameswara Rao, N (Astronomical Society of India, 1975-09)
  • A Spectral Analysis of HD 165553 
    Goswami, A; Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L (Astronomical Society of India, 2003)
    High resolution spectra of HD 165553, a star reported to be a spectroscopic binary of spectral type F8 Ib are analysed. The stellar parameters - effective temperature, surface gravity and microturbulence are determined ...
  • Spectral Variations of DY Cen 
    Giridhar, S; Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L (Indaian Academy of Sciences, 1996-06)
    Two high resolution spectra of the hot RCrB star DY Cen in the red region are compared. The photospheric absorption lines show a radial velocity variation of 12 km s(sup -1) between 1989 July and 1992 May. Emission components ...
  • Spectrophotometric observations of R CrB during 1972, 74 Minima 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Vasundhara, R; Ashoka, B. N (D. Reidel Publishing Co, 1986)
  • Spectroscopic observations of Nu Centauri 
    Ashoka, B. N; Surendiranath, R; Kameswara Rao, N (Copernicus Foundation for Polish Astronomy, 1985)
    Presented are radial-velocity observations of the single-line spectroscopic binary and Beta Cephei-type variable Nu Cen, obtained in the period 1983-1984. New orbital elements have been determined by combining these ...
  • Spectroscopic studies of R CrB during light minima - Absorption spectrum 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Giridhar, S; Ashoka, B. N (Royal Astronomical Society, 1990-05)
    R CrB was observed during the 1986 shallow minimum to study the spectral changes taking place during light minimum as compared with the spectrum at maximum light. The absorption spectrum at this minimum is very similar to ...

    The 2.34 meter Vainu Bappu Telescope (VBT) has been operating as a national facility for the last 3-4 years. Some of the current observational programs with VBT regarding the galactic astronomy are reviewed
  • A stellar endgame - the born-again Sakurai's object 
    Asplund, M; Gustafsson, B; Lambert, D. L; Kameswara Rao, N (European Southern Observatory, 1997-05)
    The surface chemical composition of this remarkable star shows that it is hydrogen-deficient, carbon-rich and enriched in the light s-process elements. Spectra taken in May and October 1996 indicate a decrease in the surface ...
