  • A catalogue of 108 extended planetary nebulae observed by GALEX 
    Pradhan, Ananta C; Panda, Swayamtrupta; Parthasarathy, M; Murthy, J; Ojha, Devendra K (Springer, 2019-10)
    We present the ultraviolet (UV) imaging observation of planetary nebulae (PNe) using archival data of Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). We found 358 PNe detected by GALEX in near-UV (NUV). We have compiled a catalogue of ...
  • The Diffuse Radiation Field at High Galactic Latitudes 
    Akshaya, M. S; Murthy, J; Ravichandran, S; Henry, R. C; Overduin, J (IOP Publishing, 2018-08-10)
    We have used GALEX observations of the north and south Galactic poles to study the diffuse ultraviolet background at locations where the Galactic light is expected to be at a minimum. We find offsets of 230–290 photon units ...
  • The Diffuse Ultraviolet Foreground 
    Murthy, J (Springer, 2014-01)
    Ultraviolet observations from low Earth orbit (LEO) have to deal with a foreground comprised of airglow and zodiacal light which depend on the look direction and on the date and time of the observation. We have used all-sky ...
  • Galex diffuse observations of the sky: the data 
    Murthy, J (IOP Publishing, 2014-08)
    I present tabulations of the diffuse observations made by the GALEX spacecraft in two UV bands (FUV: 1539 Å and NUV: 2316 Å) from the (almost) final data release of the GALEX spacecraft (GR6/GR7). This data release includes ...
  • Globular Cluster UVIT Legacy Survey (GlobULeS) – I. FUV–optical colour–magnitude diagrams for eight globular clusters 
    Sahu, Snehalata; Subramaniam, A; Singh, Gaurav; Yadav, Ramakant; Valcarce, Aldo R; Choudhury, Samyaday; Sharmila Rani; Deepthi, S. Prabhu; Chung, Chul; Cote, Patrick; Leigh, Nathan; Geller, Aaron M; Chatterjee, Sourav; Kameswara Rao, N; Bandyopadhyay, Avrajit; Shara, Michael; Dalessandro, Emanuele; Pandey, G; Postma, Joesph E; Hutchings, John; Simunovic, Mirko; Stetson, Peter B; Sivarani, T; Puzia, Thomas; Sohn, Young-Jong (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022-07)
    We present the first results of eight globular clusters (GCs) from the AstroSat/UVIT Legacy Survey programme GlobULeS based on the observations carried out in two far-ultraviolet (FUV) filters (F148W and F169M). The ...
  • In-orbit Calibrations of the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope 
    Tandon, S. N; Subramaniam, A; Girish, V; Postma, J; Sankarasubramanian, K; Sriram, S; Stalin, C. S; Mondal, Chayan; Sahu, S; Joseph, P; Hutchings, J; Ghosh, S. K; Barve, Indrajit V; George, K; Kamath, P. U; Kathiravan, S; Kumar, A; Lancelot, J. P; Leahy, D; Mahesh, P. K; Mohan, Rekhesh; Nagabhushana, S; Pati, A. K; Kameswara Rao, N; Sreedhar, Yuvraj Harsha; Sreekumar, P (IOP Publishing, 2017-09)
    The Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) is one of the payloads in ASTROSAT, the first Indian Space Observatory. The UVIT instrument has two 375 mm telescopes: one for the far-ultraviolet (FUV) channel (1300–1800 Å), ...
  • Investigating the in-flight performance of the UVIT payload on AstroSat 
    Rahna, P. T; Murthy, J; Safonova, M; Sutaria, F. K; Gudennavar, S. B; Bubbly, S. G (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-11)
    We have studied the performance of the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope payload on AstroSat and derived a calibration of the far-ultraviolet (FUV) and near-ultraviolet (NUV) instruments on board. We find that the sensitivity ...
  • Modelling dust scattering in our galaxy 
    Murthy, J (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016-06)
    I have used Monte Carlo models with multiple scattering to predict the dust scattered light from our Galaxy and have compared the predictions with data in two ultraviolet bands from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer spacecraft. ...
  • Observations of O vi absorption from the superbubbles of the large magellanic cloud 
    Pradhan, A. C; Pathak, A; Murthy, J; Ojha, D. K (Cambridge University Press, 2014-01)
    We have presented the observations of O VI absorption at 1032 Å towards 22 sightlines in 10 superbubbles (SBs) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the data obtained from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer ...
  • An overview of the proposed Indian spectroscopic and imaging space telescope 
    Subramaniam, A (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2022-12)
    India reached a major milestone in the area of space astronomy with the successful launch and postlaunch operations of its first space observatory, AstroSat. The success of this space observatory and the lessons learned ...
  • Predicting UV sky for future UV missions 
    Safonova, M; Mohan, Rekhesh; Sreejith, A. G; Murthy, J (Elsevier, 2013-02)
    Software simulators are now widely used in all areas of science, especially in application to astronomical missions: from instrument design to mission planning, and to data interpretation. We present a simulator to model ...
  • Science with a Wide-Field UV Transient Explorer 
    Sagiv, I; Gal-Yam, A; Ofek, E. O; Waxman, E; Aharonson, O; Kulkarni, S. R; Nakar, E; Maoz, D; Trakhtenbrot, B; Phinney, E. S; J. Topaz, J; Beichman, C; Murthy, J; Worden, S. P (IOP Publishing, 2014-04)
    The time-variable electromagnetic sky has been well-explored at a wide range of wavelengths. In contrast, the ultra-violet (UV) variable sky is relatively poorly explored, even though it offers exciting scientific prospects. ...
  • Soft X-ray and FUV observations of Nova Her 2021 (V1674 Her) with AstroSat
