What is habitability? Can we quantify it? What do we mean under the term habitable or potentially habitable planet? With estimates of the number of planets in our Galaxy alone running into billions, possibly a number greater ...

We discuss potential problems in hadronic physics. Recent developments are reviewed and possible future studies in some interesting areas which are underway are highlighted

The Sc II 4247 Å line formed in the chromosphere is one of the lines well known, like the Na I D2 and Ba II D2, for its prominent triple-peak structure in Q/I and the underlying quantum interference effects governing it. ...

We obtain the complete quantum phase diagram of bosons on a two-leg ladder in the presence of attractive onsite and repulsive interchain nearest-neighbor interactions by imposing the onsite three-body constraint. We find ...

Quasars are ideal targets to use for astrometric calibration of large scale astronomical surveys as they have negligible proper motion and parallax. The forthcoming 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) will ...

Using the daily Mt. Wilson Doppler velocity data during 1986–1994 (solar cycle 22), we studied the short-term variations of the order of a few days to a month timescales in the solar differential rotation. We represent the ...

We perform a 2.5D magnetohydrodynamic simulation to gain a comprehensive understanding of the formation of spicule-like cool jets caused by initial transverse velocity pulses akin to Alfven´ pulses in the solar chromosphere. ...

We study the quasiadiabatic dynamics of a one-dimensional system of ultracold bosonic atoms loaded in an optical superlattice. Focusing on a slow linear variation in time of the superlattice potential, the system is driven ...
