  • A model for relativistic disk emission, flow and variability 
    Mohan, Prashanth; Mangalam, A (Astronomical Society of India, 2015-04)
    Orbiting features near a black hole can cause variability in optical/UV and X-ray bands with quasi-periodic signatures. The variable flux is derived in Kerr geometry including the following relativistic effects: light ...

    Paliya, Vaidehi S; Diltz, C; Bottcher, M; Stalin, C. S; Buckley, D (Astronomical Society of India, 2015-03)
    The blazar 3C 279 exhibited a giant γ-ray outburst in 2013 December and 2014 April. Apart from the very fast γ-ray flux variability, the spectral nature of the flares were also found to vary significantly between these ...
