  • TAUVEX flight calibrations: Plans and challenges 
    Safonova, M; Shalima, P; Murthy, J (Astronomical Society of India, 2009-06)
    The operational tasks for the Performance Verification (PV) and calibration phase in the first year of TAUVEX operation are presented. The new challenges regarding the possible reduction in sensitivity are outlined and are ...
  • TAUVEX---UV observations from geosynchronous orbit 
    Murthy, J; Safonova, M; Mohan, Rekhesh; Gopakumar, P (Astronomical Society of India, 2007-06)
    The T Observatory consists of three identical co-aligned telescopes operating in several bands in the 1200-3500, rmAA bandpass from geostationary orbit. The major science objectives of T are (a) searches for QSOs and AGNs ...
  • Theoretical validation of potential habitability via analytical and boosted tree methods: An optimistic study on recently discovered exoplanets 
    Saha, S; Basak, S; Safonova, M; Bora, K; Agrawal, S; Sarkar, P; Murthy, J (Elsevier B.V, 2018-04)
    Seven Earth-sized planets, known as the TRAPPIST-1 system, was discovered with great fanfare in the last week of February 2017. Three of these planets are in the habitable zone of their star, making them potentially habitable ...
  • TINI: a mission for FUV spectroscopy of extended objects 
    Diebold, S; Barnstedt, J; Chandra, B; Conti, L; Ghatul, N; Kappelmann, N; Mohan, R; Murthy, J; Nair, B; Prabha, C; Rai, R; Safonova, M; Stelzer, B; Werner, K (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2022-08)
    The far ultraviolet (FUV, 91.2 nm to 180 nm) is the wavelength region with the greatest density of absorption and emission lines. However, despite of being one of the most exciting parts of the astrophysical spectrum, ...
  • An ultraviolet imager to study bright UV sources 
    Mathew, J; Prakash, A; Mayuresh, Sarpotdar; Sreejith, A. G; Safonova, M; Murthy, J (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2016-07)
    We have designed and developed a compact ultraviolet imaging payload to y on a range of possible platforms such as high altitude balloon experiments, cubesats, space missions, etc. The primary science goals are to study ...
  • Variables in Globular Cluster NGC 5024 
    Safonova, M; Stalin, C. S (IOP Publishing, 2011-12)
    We present the results of a commissioning campaign to observe Galactic globular clusters for the search of microlensing events. The central 10' × 10' region of the globular cluster NGC 5024 was monitored using the 2 m ...
  • Wavelength calibration of a tunable spatial heterodyne spectrometer 
    Nirmal, K; Sridharan, R; Sriram, S; Ambily, S; Mathew, J; Mayuresh, Sarpotdar; Murthy, J; Binukumar, G; Safonova, M (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2018-07-06)
    Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy (SHS) is a relatively novel interferometric technique similar to Fourier transform spectroscopy and shares design similarities with a Michelson Interferometer. An Imaging detector is used ...
  • Wide-field ultraviolet imager for astronomical transient studies 
    Mathew, J; Ambily, S; Prakash, A; Mayuresh, Sarpotdar; Nirmal, K; Sreejith, A. G; Safonova, M; Murthy, J; Brosch, N (Springer, 2018-04)
    Though the ultraviolet (UV) domain plays a vital role in the studies of astronomical transient events, the UV time-domain sky remains largely unexplored. We have designed a wide-field UV imager that can be flown on a range ...
  • β-SGP: Scaled Gradient Projection with β-divergence for astronomical image restoration 
    Gondhalekar, Y; Safonova, M; Saha, S (Elsevier B.V., 2023-07)
    Image restoration in astronomy has been considered a vital step in many ground-based observational programs that often suffer from sub-optimal seeing due to atmospheric turbulence, distortion of stellar shapes due to ...
