  • Mass-varying dark matter and its cosmological signature 
    Das, Anirban; Das, Subinoy; Sethi, Shiv K. (American Physical Society, 2023-10-15)
    Nontrivial dark sector physics continues to be an interesting avenue in our quest to the nature of dark matter. In this paper, we study the cosmological signatures of mass-varying dark matter where its mass changes from ...
  • Massive Star Formation in the Infrared-bright Galaxy NGC 972 
    Ravindranath, S; Prabhu, T. P (The American Astronomical Society, 1998-06)
