    High speed optical photometric observations of the X-ray dwarf nova HL Canis Majoris (1E 0643-1648), discovered with the Einstein Observatory, are presented. Results of long term monitoring and attempts to detect photometric ...
  • Photometry of intermediate polars AO PSC and V 1223 SGR 
    Padmini, V. N; Marar, T. M. K; Seetha, S; Padmanabhan, P; Kasturirangan, K; Rao, U. R; Bhattacharyya, J. C; Kuppuswamy, K; Rozario, M. J (Springer, 1985-12)
    We present optical photometric observations of the cataclysmic variables AO Psc and V 1223 Sgr, both of which are believed to contain slowly-rotating white-dwarf pulsars. These objectes belong to the new class of intermediate ...
  • Photometry of the solar corona of March 7, 1970 
    Bappu, M. K. V; Bhattacharyya, J. C; Sivaraman, K. R (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1973)
    Isophotes obtained by equidensitometry techniques from four exposures of the March 7, 1970 corona are used for derivation of intensity distributions along the equator, poles, streamers and dark ' gaps ' in the visible ...
  • Possible Detection of a Ring System in Saturn's Magnetosphere 
    Vasundhara, R; Bhattacharyya, J. C; Santhanam, P; Pande, A. K; Mohan, V; Mahra, H (Nature Publishing Group, 1984-12)
    The region of the magnetosphere of Saturn around 14 radii and 19 radii has been of special interest since the detection of anomalous dips in the low-energy plasma ion-density in these regions by the Voyager 1, Voyager 2 ...
  • Quantitative astronomical spectroscopy in the post Saha equation period 
    Bhattacharyya, J. C (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, 2017-07)
