  • Why are classical bulges more common in S0 galaxies than in spiral galaxies? 
    Mishra, P. K; Wadadekar, Y; Barway, Sudhanshu (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018-07)
    In this paper, we try to understand why the classical bulge fraction observed in S0 galaxies is significantly higher than that in spiral galaxies. We carry out a comparative study of the bulge and global properties of a ...

    George, K; Poggianti, B. M; Gullieuszik, M; Fasano, G; Bellhouse, C; Postma, J; Moretti, A; Jaffe, Y; Vulcani, B; Bettoni, D; Fritz, J; Cote, P; Ghosh, S. K; Hutchings, J. B; Mohan, Rekhesh; Sreekumar, P; Stalin, C. S; Subramaniam, A; Tandon, S. N (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018-09)
    Jellyfish are cluster galaxies that experience strong ram-pressure effects that strip their gas. Their Hα images reveal ionized gas tails up to 100 kpc, which could be hosting ongoing star formation. Here, we report the ...
  • Atmospheric mass-loss of extrasolar planets orbiting magnetically active host stars 
    Lalitha, S; Schmitt, J. H. M. M; Dash, S (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018-06)
    Magnetic stellar activity of exoplanet hosts can lead to the production of large amounts of high-energy emission, which irradiates extrasolar planets, located in the immediate vicinity of such stars. This radiation is ...
  • Magnetic fields in multiple bright-rimmed clouds in different directions of H II region IC 1396 
    Soam, A; Maheswar, G; Lee, C. W; Neha, S; Kim, K (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018-06)
    Bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs) form on the edges of H II regions affected by high-energy radiation from a central ionizing source. The UV radiation from the ionizing source results in compression and ionization, causing either ...

    Chakraborti, S; Ray, A; Smith, R; Ryder, S; Yadav, N; Sutaria, F. K; Dwarkadas, V. V; Chandra, P; Pooley, D; Roy, R (Cambridge University Press, 2014-01)
    SN 2001ja was observed twice in three months using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The X-ray flux could be due to interaction with the circumstellar medium, perhaps dominated by the reverse shock heated thermal plasma, or ...

    Bharat Kumar, Y; Singh, R; Reddy, B. E; Zhao, G (IOP Publishing, 2018-05-10)
    In this Letter we report two new super Li-rich K giants, KIC2305930 and KIC12645107, with Li abundances exceeding that of the interstellar medium (ISM; A(Li) ≥ 3.2 dex). Importantly, both of the giants have been classified ...
  • The Diffuse Radiation Field at High Galactic Latitudes
