    Datta, B; Thampan, A. V; Bhattacharya, D (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1995-12)
    An accurate numerical survey of the density profiles corresponding to the crusts of neutron stars for representative equation of state models is presented. This will find application in calculations of thermal and magnetic ...
  • NuSTAR and Swift observations of the extragalactic black hole X-ray binaries 
    Jana, Arghajit; Naik, Sachindra; Chatterjee, Debjit; Jaisawal, Gaurava K. (Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society, 2021-11)
    We present the results obtained from detailed spectral and timing studies of extragalactic black hole X-ray binaries LMC X–1 and LMC X–3, using simultaneous observations with Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) ...
  • NuSTAR spectral analysis of three Seyfert galaxies: NGC 3227, NGC 5548, and MR 2251−178 
    Pal, Indrani; Stalin, C. S; Mallick, L; Priyanka Rani (EDP Sciences, 2022-06)
    Context. The observed nuclear X-ray emission in the radio-quiet category of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is believed to be from a compact region, the corona, which is situated in the vicinity of central supermassive black ...
  • NuSTAR, Swift, and GROND observations of the flaring MeV blazar PMN J0641-0320 
    Ajello, M; Ghisellini, G; Paliya, Vaidehi S; Kocevski, D; Tagliaferri, G; Madejski, G; Rau, A; Schady, P; Greiner, J; Massaro, F; Balokovic, M; Buhler, R; Giomi, M; Marcotulli, L; D'Ammando, F; Stern, D; Boggs, S. E; Christensen, F. E; Craig, W. W; Hailey, C. J; Harrison, F. A; Zhang, W. W (IOP Publishing, 2016-07-20)
    MeV blazars are a sub-population of the blazar family, exhibiting larger-than-average jet powers, accretion luminosities, and black hole masses. Because of their extremely hard X-ray continua, these objects are best studied ...
