  • Dust Properties in the Far-Ultraviolet in Ophiuchus 
    Sujatha, N. V; Shalima, P; Murthy, J; Henry, R. C (The American Astronomical Society, 2005-11)
    We have derived the albedo (a) and phase function asymmetry factor (g) of interstellar dust grains at 1100 Å using archival Voyager observations of diffuse radiation in Ophiuchus. We have found that the grains are highly ...
  • Explaining the Observed Polarization from Brown Dwarfs by Single Dust Scattering 
    Sengupta, S (The American Astronomical Society, 2003-03)
    Recent observation of linear optical polarization from brown dwarfs confirms the dust hypothesis in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs with effective temperature higher than 1400 K. The observed polarization could arise because ...
  • Interstellar dust studies with TAUVEX 
    Maheswar, G; Muthu, C; Sujatha, N. V; Pandey, G; Bhatt, H. C; Kameswara Rao, N; Murthy, J (Astronomical Society of India, 2007-06)
    We propose to carry out studies on the properties of inter- stellar dust using TAUVEX. Through the multi-band TAUVEX observations, particularly with the use of filters optimized for extinction observations of the 2175 ° ...
  • Observations of the Diffuse Far-Ultraviolet Background with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer 
    Murthy, J; Sahnow, D. J (The American Astronomical Society, 2004-11)
    We have used observations taken under the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) S405/505 channel realignment program to explore the diffuse far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1000-1200 Å) radiation field. Of the 71 independent ...
  • Polarization of L Dwarfs by Dust Scattering 
    Sengupta, S; Kwok, S (The American Astronomical Society, 2005-06)
    The degree of polarization in L dwarfs of spectral types L0-L6 resulting from dust scattering in a rotation-induced oblate photosphere is calculated. Assuming that forsterite is the main condensate, we derive the atmospheric ...
