The Mauritius Radiotelescope (MRT) is a T-shaped array of helical antennas with a 2048 m EW arm and a 890 m South arm. The primary objective of the telescope is to produce a sky survey in the declination zone -15° to -65° ...

An application of the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) to the closure data is described. It is shown that although the basic principle of the method is to obtain a brightness distribution which has highest entropy, the closure ...

A simple maximum entropy method algorithm for deconvolving polarized images obtained from synthesis observations has been described here. A general purpose Fortran program is also developed. it demonstrated that although ...

We analyze the various phases exhibited by a system of ultracold bosons in a periodic optical superlattice using the mean-field decoupling approximation. We investigate for a wide range of commensurate and incommensurate ...

We extend our modified parameter search method (Sridharan, Dashora, and Venkatakrishnan, Solar Phys.222, 35, 2004) of estimating the Fried parameter (r0) from long exposure images to the images obtained from the Hα-telescope ...

We have used FUSE and Voyager observations of dust-scattered starlight in the neighborhood of the Coalsack Nebula to derive the optical constants of the dust grains. The albedo is consistent with a value of 0.28 ± 0.04, ...

The measurement of the instrumental polarization for any obliquely reflecting telescope is necessary to measure the polarization state of the input beam precisely. To find out the instrumental polarization of the reflecting ...

The Kodaikanal sunspot data set covering the interval 1906-1987 is analyzed for differential rotation of sunspots of different sizes. As is known, smaller sunspots rotate faster than larger sunspots, and this result is ...

We find from an analysis of the Kodaikanal sunspot group data that the rotation rates of spot groups increase with their age when the rotation rates are computed after sorting the spot groups life-span-wise. We confirm ...
