We present new time-series CCD VR photometry of the globular cluster NGC 5634. We aim to use the known RR Lyrae stars, members of the cluster, as indicators of mean metallicity and distance. Accurate coordinates, periods, ...
Recent observations reveal small-scale reconnection-driven plasma ejections, often termed nanojets, triggered by magnetic field interactions at slight misalignment angles. These fast, collimated plasma ejections are ∼1.5 ...
The classification of exoplanets has been a longstanding challenge in astronomy, requiring significant computational and observational resources. Traditional methods demand substantial effort, time, and cost, highlighting ...

Galaxies undergoing ram-pressure stripping develop gaseous tails that can extend several kiloparsecs outside the galaxy disc. Under favourable conditions, star formation can occur in the stripped tail, but there are cases ...
This study examines the preservation challenges and strategies implemented at the Library of the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory (KSO), part of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics. The library houses rare and sometimes fragile ...
Significant variability in broad emission line strengths of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over months to years has been observed, often accompanied by intrinsic continuum changes. Such spectral variability challenges the ...
Context. The standard nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) multi-level radiative transfer problem only takes into account the deviation of the radiation field and atomic populations from their equilibrium ...

Time Domain Astronomy (TDA) has ushered in a new era of cosmic exploration. This has been possible with the advanced sensitive surveys that have allowed the discovery and classification of transients to reach unprecedented ...
From a careful visual scrutiny of the radio structures of a well-defined sample of 2428 sources in the LoTSS-DR2 survey made at 144 MHz with a 6 beam, we have selected a subset of 25 (i.e., 1%) sources showing highly unusual ...
The study of exoplanets is one of the fastest-growing areas in astronomy. The number of known
exoplanets has increased dramatically, providing new insights into the galaxy’s diversity and abundance of
planetary systems. ...
