  • The 3.6 metre Devasthal optical telescope: from inception to realization 
    Sagar, R; Kumar, Brijesh; Omar, A (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2019-08-10)
    India’s largest 3.6 metre Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT) was commissioned in 2016, though the idea of building it germinated way back in 1976. This article provides research accounts as well as glimpses of its nearly ...

J; Misra, K; Singh, M (Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege, 2018-04)
    We present an update on the 3.6-m aperture optical telescope, which has been installed at Devasthal in the year 2016. In this paper, a brief overview of installation activities at site and first results are presented. The ...
  • The electron temperatures of HII regions S 201, S 206 and S 209 : Multi-frequency GMRT observations 
    Omar, A; Chengalur, J. N; Roshi, D. A (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    Three Galactic HII regions, viz., S 201, S 206, and S 209 have been imaged at three frequencies, viz., 232, 327, and 610 MHz using the GMRT. The resolutions of these images are typically 15" at 232, 10" at 327, and 6" ...
  • The first aluminum coating of the 3700 mm primary mirror of the Devasthal Optical Telescope 
    Bheemireddy, K. R; Maheswar, G; Pant, J; Omar, A; Kumar, B; Uddin, W; Nirmal, K (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2016-07)
    Initially the primary mirror of the 3.6m Devasthal Optical Telescope is uncoated polished zerodur glass supplied by Lytkarino Optical Glass Factory, Russia/Advanced Mechanical and Optical Systems, Belgium. In order to do ...
  • A GMRT H I imaging survey of the ERIDANUS group of galaxies 
    Omar, A; Dwarakanath, K. S; Anantharamaiah, K. R (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    This project aims to image a subset of galaxies in the nearby Eridanus group in H I emission and in radio continuum using the GMRl'. The typical resolution of H I images will be ",1 kpc with a 30" sensitivity to H I ...
  • GMRT H I study of giant low surface brightness galaxies 
    Mishra, A; Kantharia, N. G; Das, Mousumi; Omar, A; Srivastava, D. C (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-01)
    We present H I observations of four giant low surface brightness (GLSB) galaxies UGC 1378, UGC 1922, UGC 4422 and UM 163 using the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope. We include H I results on UGC 2936, UGC 6614 and Malin 2 ...
  • HI deficiency in groups: what can we learn from Eridanus ? 
    Omar, A (Astronomical Society of India, 2004-07)
    The HI content of the Eridanus group of galaxies is studied using the GMRT observations and the HIPASS data. A significant Hi deficiency up to a factor of 2 2 - 3 is observed in galaxies in the Eridanus group. The deficiency ...
  • Probing the central engine and environment of AGN using ARIES 1.3-m and 3.6-m telescopes 
    Chand, H; Rakshit, S; Jalan, P; Ojha, V; Srianand, R; Vivek, M; Mishra, S; Omar, A; Kumar, P; Joshi, R; Gopal Krishna; Kumar, R (Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege, 2018-04)
    : We discuss three long term observational programmes to probe the central engine and environment of active galactic nuclei (AGN) using the recently installed ARIES 1.3-m and 3.6-m telescopes. The first programme is on ...
  • Scientific capabilities and advantages of the 3.6 meter optical telescope at Devasthal, Uttarakhand 
    Omar, A; Kumar, B; Maheswar, G; Sagar, R (Current Science Association, 2015-08)
    India’s largest 3.6 m aperture optical telescope has been successfully installed in the central Himalayan region at Devasthal, Nainital district, Uttarakhand. The primary mirror of the telescope uses the active optics ...
