    Hasan, S. S; Venkatakrishnan, P (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    The flow of gas along a magnetic field with time dependent geometry has been studied. It is seen that the velocity of the flow in the direction of the magnetic field depends both on the magnitude of the velocity of flow ...
  • Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies 
    Mishra, A; Kantharia, N. G; Mousumi Das; Nimisha, G (Bulletin de la Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege, 2018-04)
    In this paper, we present radio observations of the giant low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies made using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). LSB galaxies are generally large, dark matter dominated spirals that ...
  • Gravitational Lensing and Microlensing in Clusters: Clusters as Dark Matter Telescopes 
    Safonova, M (Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege, 2018-04)
    Gravitational lensing is brightening of background objects due to deflection of light by foreground sources. Rich clusters of galaxies are very effective lenses because they are centrally concentrated. Such natural Gravitational ...
  • Gravitational searchlight and its astrophysical applications

    Attention is given to an interesting effect associated with light emitted in the forward direction by a source circulating in an equatorial plane around a highly collapsed object or a black hole. The emitted light received ...
  • The interaction principle in radiative transfer 
    Peraiah, A (D. Reidel Publishing Co., 1984-10)
    We describe the interaction principle which is of fundamental importance to the theory of radiative transfer in one-, two-, and three-dimensional geometry. We also describe the practical difficulties associated with this ...
  • Investigating Extra-solar Planetary System Qatar-1 through Transit Observations 
    Thakur, P; Mannaday, V. K; Jiang, I; Sahu, D. K; Chand, S (Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege, 2018-04)
    We report the results of the transit timing variation (TTV) analysis of the extra-solar planet Qatar1b using thirty eight light curves. Our analysis combines thirty five previously available transit light curves with three ...
  • Landau’s major contribution to physics a brief overview 
    Sivaram, C; Arun, K (South Asian Publisher, 2009-06)
    Lev Davidovich Landau was arguably one of the greatest and most versatile physicists. His work spans a very wide range and has had a considerable impact on ail areas of physics including condensed matter physics, ...
  • Large number coincidences and unification of the parameters underlying elementary particles astrophysics and cosmology 
    Sivaram, C (World Scientific, 1984)
    The Ubiquitous occurrence of the Dirac-Eddington large dimensionless numbers when relating the physical parameters such as mass, radius, angular momentum etc. of typical astrophys1cal objects like stars and galax1es to ...
  • Light Curve and Spectral Evolution of Type IIb Supernovae 
    Gangopadhyay, A; Misra, K; Pastorello, A; Sahu, D. K; Singh, M; Dastidar, R; Anapuma, G. C; Kumar, B; Pandey, S. B (Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege, 2018-04)
    Stripped-Envelope Supernovae constitute the sub-class of core-collapse supernovae that strip off their outer hydrogen envelope due to high stellar winds or due to interaction with a binary companion where mass transfer ...
  • Lunar occultation techniques in investigations of binary stars 
    Bhattacharyya, J. C (Tira Pustaka, Jakarta, 1984)
    The paper discusses the possibility of direct measurement of angular separations and luminosity ratios of components of unresolved binary systems through observations of lunar occultations. A current program at Kavalur ...
  • A model for the millisecond pulsar PSR 1937 + 214 
    Kochhar, R. K; Sivaram, C (Springer, 1984-01)
    The authors suggest a model for the millisecond pulsar PSR 1937+214, according to which the immediate progenitor of the pulsar was a binary consisting of two neutron stars of unequal mass. The heavier neutron star was spun ...
  • Multi-band optical variability studies of Blazars 
    Aditi Agarwal (Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege, 2018-04)
    To search for optical variability on a wide range of timescales, we have carried out photometric monitoring of a dozen blazars. CCD magnitudes in B, V, R and I pass-bands were determined for > 10,000 new optical observations ...
  • On the slow-down of the millisecond pulsar PSR 1937 + 214 
    Sivaram, C; Kochhar, R. K (Springer, 1984-01)
    There are indications that less than 10/sup-3 of the spin-down energy of the millisecond pulsar PSR 1937+214 emerges as electromagnetic radiation. The implications of this result are discussed. The surface magnetic field ...
