  • Parametric decay instability in 3C 273 
    Gangadhara, R. T; Krishan, V (Cambridge University Press, 1991)
    The parametric decay instability (PDI) causes anomalous absorption of strong electromagnetic (e.m) radiation under specific conditions of energy and momentum conservation. It is shown that in the source 3C 273, the conditions ...
  • Peculiarities in the ionic tail of Comet Ikeya-Seki (1965f) 
    Krishan, V; Sivaraman, K. R (D. Reidel Publishing Co., 1982-04)
    Direct photographs of Comet Ikeya-Seki obtained on four consecutive days from October 29 to November 1, 1965, are used for an analysis of the multiple helical structures in the ionised tail. The formation of these structures ...
  • Physics of partially ionized plasmas 
    Krishan, V (Cambridge University Press, 2016)
    DescriptionContentsResourcesCoursesAbout the Authors Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter; the other three being solid, liquid and gas. Several components, such as molecular clouds, diffuse interstellar ...
  • Plasma acceleration by ion-acoustic turbulence 
    Krishan, V (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1980-12)
    An energetic proton beam passing through a stationary ionized medium, excites ion-acoustic turbulence. The ion-acoustic instability saturates due to the non-linear indirect wave-particle scattering. The electric field ...

  • Plasma heating in a sheared magnetic field 
    Krishan, V (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1981-12)
    The mechanism of spatial resonance of Alfven waves for heating a collisionless plasma is studied in the presence of a twisted magnetic field. In addition to modifying the equilibrium condition for a cylindrical plasma, the ...
  • Plasma mechanisms for variability in active galactic nuclei 
    Krishan, V; Wiita, P J (1994-03)
    We consider several physical processes, dominated by plasma effects, that might play roles in producing variability in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). One class of processes involves oscillations in the plasma itself. If ...
  • Plasma wave aided two photon decay of an electromagnetic wave in a plasma 
    Magesh Kumar, K. K; Singh, R; Krishan, V (American Institute of Physics Publishing, 2014-11)
    The presence of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma is shown to allow parametric decay of an electromagnetic wave into two electromagnetic waves, which is otherwise not allowed due to wave number mismatch. The decay ...
  • Plasmas: the first state of matter 
    Krishan, V (Cambridge University Press, 2014)
    Most astronomers believe that the universe began about 15 billion years ago when an explosion led to its expansion and cooling. The present state of the universe compels us to believe that the universe was extremely hot ...
  • Polarization Changes of Radiation through Stimulated Raman Scattering 
    Gangadhara, R. T; Krishan, V (The American Astronomical Society, 1993-10)
    We study change in the polarization of electromagnetic waves due to the stimulated Raman scattering in a plasma. In this process an electromagnetic wave undergoes coherent scattering off an electron plasma wave. It is found ...
  • Possible effects of positronium negative ion on 0.511 MeV gamma-ray line in astrophysical sources 
    Sivaram, C; Krishan, V (Springer, 1982-07)
    The astrophysical importance of the negative positronium ion, detected recently in the laboratory, has been pointed out. It is found that the presence of Ps(-) ions will contribute additionally to the width of the 0.511 ...
  • Power spectra of the fluctuations in the solar wind 
    Krishan, V (Springer Netherlands, 2008)
    The power spectra of the velocity, the magnetic field and the density fluctuations and their inter-relationships are investigated in the turbulent solar wind using the dimensional approach of the Kolmogorovic type. While ...
  • Pressure structure of solar coronal loops. III 
    Sreedharan, T. D; Sasidharan, K; Satya Narayanan, A; Krishan, V (Springer Netherlands, 1992-12)
    The theory of ideal magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in cylindrical geometry is used to study the steady-state structure of a coronal loop. The pressure profile is derived from MHD equations by representing the velocity and ...
  • A probable initial configuration of a flaring loop 
    Krishan, V (Institute of Physics, 1986-02)
    A clue to the preflare configuration of a magnetic loop is obtained based on Taylor's hypothesis that the decay of energy to a minimum with magnetic helicity remaining constant leads to a force free state. The numerical ...
  • Probing Dust in the Atmosphere of Brown Dwarfs through Polarization 
    Sengupta, S; Krishan, V (The American Astronomical Society, 2001-11)
    The theoretical analysis and observational evidence indicate that a brown dwarf with an effective temperature greater than 1300 K would have a dust cloud in its atmosphere. In this Letter, we show that dust scattering ...
  • Production of the active galactic nuclei continuum via coherent plasma processes 
    Krishan, V (Cambridge University Press, 1988)
    It appears possible to explain both the typical continuum electromagnetic spectrum and the relativistic velocities of electrons in the region of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) by ...
  • Propagation effects on polarization of pulsar radio emission 
    Gangadhara, R. T; Lesch, H; Krishan, V (The Royal Astronomical Society, 1999-08)
    We consider the role of a propagation effect such as stimulated Raman scattering on the polarization of radio pulses. When an intense electromagnetic wave with frequency close to the plasma frequency interacts with the ...
  • Pulsating radio emission at decametre wavelengths from the sun 
    Sastry, Ch. V; Krishan, V; Subramanian, K. R (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1981-03)
    Observations on the pulsation pattern in the time profile of short duration solar radio bursts at decametre wavelengths are presented. The pulsations are found to be present predominantly in the saturation phase of the ...
  • Radiation from an electron beam-magnetoplasma 
    Krishan, V (Institute of Physics, 1980-08)
    The possibility of direct generation of electromagnetic radiation at and near electron plasma frequency from an electron beam-magnetoplasma system is explored. The role of the electron beam is replaced by the electron ...

    Krishan, V; Sivaram, C (Springer, 1983-04)
    The equations describing the linear-acceleration mechanism of radiation emission are generalized and applied to type III and IIIb solar radio bursts. A general expression for the power emitted by an electron in a spatially ...
