During the eclipse of 1980 February 16 the authors photographed the solar corona at an effective wavelength of 6300 Å. Using a quadruple camera coronal pictures were obtained in polarized light for four polaroid orientations. ...

The physical parameters, such as the effective temperatures, radii, bolometric magnitudes and bolometric corrections of 87 Ap and Am stars out of the 125 compiled here are essentially based on the work done by the authors ...

Spectrophotometric studies of P /Halley (r = 1.98 AU, Δ= 1.19AU, r = 1.97, Δ = 1.16 AU and r = 1.95 AU, Δ. = 1.13 AU) in the spectral range 3900 A - 6450 A were made on three nights and identifications of emission features ...

Low-dispersion spectra of the order of 1000 Å mm-1 have been obtained for stars in several faint galactic clusters with a transmission grating placed in front of the photographic plate at the Cassegrain focus of the Kavalur ...

It is observed that the rotational velocities of most Ap stars are dependent on their masses. Deviations from this general rule may be explained in terms of multiplicity which affects the derived colors and radii. Spectroscopic ...

Optical linear polarization data are presented for the coma and tail region of comet P/Halley observed on 19 March 1986. Polarization in the continuum has been found to increase with wavelength while the position angle ...

Spectral scans of comet Halley were made at high spatial resolution using the Cassegrain focus (f/13) of the 102 cm reflector at Kavalur (India). The scans cover the wavelength region from 3900 to 6200 A and at 40 A ...

Based on the observed energy distribution curves of about a hundred Ap stars, the various relationships among their physical parameters: namely, the temperatue, colour index, bolometric correction and bolometric magnitude ...
