    We have obtained UBVRI polarization measurements of 26 post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) candidates and related stars. The extremely metal-poor post-AGB star HR 4049 has been observed several times. In most cases we ...
  • Polarization Measurements of Some Herbig Ae / Be-Stars 
    Jain, S. K; Bhatt, H. C; Sagar, R (International Astronomical Union, 1990)
    We have measured the linear polarization of 8 bright Herbing Ae/ Be starsin UBVRI bands. No unique wavelength dependence of magnitude as well as direction is found on these measurements.

    Bhatt, H. C; Jain, S. K (Blackwell Publishing, 1992-07)
    Linear polarization measurements of stars in the region of the nearby high-latitude molecular cloud MBM 12 are presented. Stars behind the cloud show a polarization of about 2-3 percent, while stars that are in front of ...
  • Polarization measurements of the luminous blue variable HR Carinae 
    Parthasarathy, M; Jain, S. K; Bhatt, H. C (European Southern Observatory, 2000-03)
    We have made BVRI polarization measurements of HR Car on ten occasions during the period JD 2447919 to JD 2449014. All our observations are on the rising part of the light curve. We find the presence of intrinsic variable ...
  • Polarization measurements of Vega-like stars 
    Bhatt, H. C; Manoj, P (European Southern Observatory, 2000-10)
    Optical linear polarization measurements are presented for about 30 Vega-like stars. These are then compared with the polarization observed for normal field stars. A significant fraction of the Vega-like stars are found ...
  • Polarization Observations of a Split-band Type II Radio Burst from the Solar Corona 
    Ramesh, R; Kathiravan, C (American Astronomical Society, 2022-11-20)
    Using temporal observations of circular polarized harmonic plasma emission from a split-band type II solar radio burst at 80 MHz, we separately estimated the coronal magnetic field strengths (B) associated with the lower ...
  • Polarization of coherent curvature radiation in pulsars 
    Thomas, R. M. C; Gangadhara, R. T (Springer Netherlands, 2008)
    We consider the coherent curvature radiation by relativistic plasma in pulsar magnetosphere. The radiation emitted by relativistic particle bunches is beamed in the direction of field line tangents. For the first time, we ...
  • Polarization of continuum radiation in magnetic atmospheres 
    Nagendra, K. N; Peraiah, A (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1984-09)
    A numerical solution is presented for the problem of continuum radiative transfer in a magnetoactive medium. The continuum opacities are calculated in the presence of a strong magnetic field (H = 10 MG) typical of magnetic ...
  • Polarization of L Dwarfs by Dust Scattering 
    Sengupta, S; Kwok, S (The American Astronomical Society, 2005-06)
    The degree of polarization in L dwarfs of spectral types L0-L6 resulting from dust scattering in a rotation-induced oblate photosphere is calculated. Assuming that forsterite is the main condensate, we derive the atmospheric ...
  • Polarization of line radiation in the presence of external electric quadrupole and uniform magnetic fields 
    Oo, Y. Y; Nagendra, K. N; Ananthamurthy, S; Vijayashankar, R; Ramachandran, G (Elsevier B.V., 2004-02)
    The polarization of emission lines formed in a medium immersed in external electric and magnetic fields is studied. The electric field is assumed to be quadrupolar in nature, while the magnetic field is uniform. We show ...
  • Polarization of line radiation in the presence of external electric quadrupole and uniform magnetic fields: II. Arbitrary orientation of magnetic field 
    Oo, Y. Y; Nagendra, K. N; Ananthamurthy, S; Sirsi, S; Vijayashanka, R; Ramachandran, G (Elsevier B.V., 2005-02)
    In continuation of our earlier investigation (referred to hereafter as part I) where we considered the mathematically simple case of magnetic field orientation along the Z-axis of the principal axes frame (PAF) of the ...
  • Polarization of resonance lines formed in extended spherical atmospheres 
    Nagendra, K. N (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1989-04)
    The present consideration of the polarization problem posed by resonance lines in extended spherical atmospheres assumes that the atmosphere in question is at rest and emphasizes the determination of constraints that can ...
  • Polarization of Rotationally Oblate Self-luminous Exoplanets with Anisotropic Atmospheres 
    Chakrabarty, Aritra; Sengupta, S; Marley, Mark S (American Astronomical Society, 2022-03-01)
    The young self-luminous giant exoplanets are expected to be oblate in shape, owing to the high rotational speeds observed for some objects. Similar to the case of brown dwarfs, the thermal emission from these planets should ...
  • Polarization of seven MBM clouds at high Galactic latitude 
    Neha, S; Maheswar, G; Soam, A; Lee, C. W (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018-06)
    We made R-band polarization measurements of 234 stars towards the direction of the MBM 33–39 cloud complex. The distance of the MBM 33–39 complex was determined as 120 ± 10 pc using polarization results and near-infrared ...

    Sengupta, S; Maiti, M (University of Chicago Press, 2006-03)
    We calculate the degree of linear polarization of radiation from stars having planets that may not be resolved spatially. We assume single scattering by water and silicate particulates in the planetary atmosphere. The ...
