  • Plasmas: the first state of matter 
    Krishan, V (Cambridge University Press, 2014)
    Most astronomers believe that the universe began about 15 billion years ago when an explosion led to its expansion and cooling. The present state of the universe compels us to believe that the universe was extremely hot ...
  • High resolution imaging: detectors and applications 
    Saha, S. K (Pan Stanford publishing, 2015)
    Interferometric observations need snapshots of very high time resolution of the order of (i) frame integration of about 100 Hz or (ii) photon-recording rates of several megahertz (MHz). Detectors play a key role in ...
  • Waves and oscillations in nature: an introduction 
    Satya Narayanan, A; Saha, S. K (CRC Press, 2015)
    Waves and oscillations are found in large scales (galactic) and microscopic scales (neutrino) in nature. Their dynamics and behavior heavily depend on the type of medium through which they propagate.Waves and Oscillations ...
  • Hydrogen deficient stars and related objects: proceeding of the 87th colloquium of the international astronomical union held at Mysore, India, 10–15 November 1985 
    Hunger, K (editor); Schonberner, D (editor); Kameswara Rao, N (editor) (D. Reidel Publishing Company, 1986)
    The first helium star was discovered in 1942, the first scientific meeting on the subject, however, took place in 1985. The meeting was hence long overdue for, in the meantime, a substantial amount of material had been ...
