The Kiso Supernova Survey (KISS) is a high-cadence optical wide-field supernova (SN) survey. The primary goal of the survey is to catch the very early light of a SN, during the shock breakout phase. Detection of SN shock ...

Context. Long-term sunspot observations are key to understanding and predicting the solar activities and its effects on space weather. Consistent observations, which are crucial for long-term variations studies, are generally ...

The Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) has commissioned a low frequency (<100 MHz) spectrograph at its Kodaikanal Solar Observatory (KSO) for coordinated observations of transients in the solar atmosphere with other ...

We present the results of the high-resolution (R ∼ 60 000) spectroscopic analysis of the star LAMOSTJ045019.27 + 394758.7 (hereafter J045) from the list of carbon stars of LAMOST DR2. From our analysis, we find that J045 ...

This paper reports the use of a GIS based Probabilistic Certainty Factor method to assess the geo-environmental factors that contribute to landslide susceptibility in Tevankarai Ar sub-watershed, Kodaikkanal. Landslide ...

Rapid urbanization, intense infra-structure development and increased tourism related activities have resulted in the change of landscape of the Kodaikkanal town and its surrounding, a popular hill town in Tamilnadu, South ...

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 ...
