  • BVRI polarimetry of carbon stars 
    Raveendran, A. V (European Southern Observatory, 1991-03)
    BVRI polarimetry of carbon stars belonging to different variability types - VX And, UU Aur, T Cae, Y CVn, U Hya, Y Hya, RY Mon, W Ori, Y Per, RT Pup, and X Vel - is presented. Though there is significant scatter, on the ...
  • An investigation of polarization produced by circumstellar dust envelopes 
    Raveendran, A. V (European Southern Observatory, 1991-03)
    Numerical computations show that: (1) the polarimetric behavior of carbon stars is inconsistent with the scattering by graphite grains, (2) the radial pulsation of the star does not significantly change the net polarization ...
  • Large dust grains in the dark cloud B5 
    Bhatt, H. C (Royal Astronomical Society, 1986-09)
    Polarization measurements of stars in the region of the dark cloud B5 indicate that the average dust grain size in the cloud is much larger than the mean interstellar grain size. Within the cloud, the average grain size ...
  • Linear polarization in binaries with grey atmosphere I. Conservative Rayleigh scattering 
    Barman, S. K (Astronomical Society of India, 1999)
    This paper presents a method for calculating linear polarization from binaries whose surfaces are distorted due to tidal and rotational forces. The atmospheres in stars are grey, plane-parallel and pure scattering. The ...
  • Linear polarization of binaries II. Phase function : wQ~(µ)Q~' (µ') 
    Barman, S. K (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    This paper presents a method of calculating linear polarizations in close binaries whose surfaces are distorted due to tidal and rotational forces. Limb-darkening effect has been taken into account. Particles of different ...
  • Polarimetric observations of hydrogen deficient stars 
    Raveendran, A. V; Kameswara Rao, N; Deshpande, M. R; Joshi, U. C; Kulshrestha, A. K (Reidel Publishing Company, 1986)
    Polarimetric observations of HD 30353, SU Tau, XX Cam, R CrB, UV Cas, BD +13°3224, BD +10°2179 and HD 124448 are presented. The linear polarization of HD 30353 is found to vary appreciably at Hα over a time scale as short ...
  • Variation of linear polarization in the R Aquarii system 
    Deshpande, M. R; Joshi, U. C; Kulshrestha, A. K; Sen, A. K; Kameswara Rao, N; Raveendran, A. V (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1987-01)
    Linear polarization measurements of the R Aqr system are reported here. The R Aqr system shows strong wavelength dependence of percent polarization and position angle, which are strongly time dependent also. There is a ...
