  • Evolution of lithium in low-mass giants: an observational perspective 
    Bharat Kumar, Yerra; Reddy, B. E (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2020-12)
    The overabundance of lithium in low-mass red giants has been a topic of interest for over four decades. Low-mass stars are expected to destroy lithium gradually throughout their lifetimes. Against this expectation, about ...
  • Fading and variations in the spectrum of the central star of the very young planetary nebula SAO 244567 (Hen 1357).

    The optical spectrum of SAO 244567 obtained in 1971 shows that it was a post-AGB B1 or B2 supergiant at that time. It has turned into a planetary nebula (PN ) within the last 20 years. The IUE ultraviolet spectra obtained ...

    Kameswara Rao, N; Reddy, B. E (Blackwell Publishing, 2005-02)
    Analysis of the surface composition of the suspected cool RV Tauri star CE Virginis shows no systematic trend in depletions of elements with respect to condensation temperature. However, there is a significant depletion ...
