    The chromospheric network, the bright emission network seen in the chromospheric lines such as Ca ii K and Hα , outline the supergranulation cells. The Ca images are dominated by the chromospheric network and plages which ...

    For a new sample of eight weak-line quasars (WLQs) we report a sensitive search in 20 intranight monitoring sessions, for blazar-like optical flux variations on hour-like and longer time-scale (day/month/year-like). The ...
  • Rajaguru, S. P; Sangeetha, C. R; Tripathi, Durgesh (IOP Publishing, 2019-02-01)
    The problem of solar chromospheric heating remains a challenging one with wider implications for stellar physics. Several studies in the recent past have shown that small-scale inclined magnetic field elements channel ...
  • Salhab, R. G; Steiner, O; Berdyugina, S. V; Freytagz, B; Rajaguru, S. P; Steffen, M (EDP Sciences, 2018-06)
    Context. Observations of the Sun tell us that its granular and subgranular small-scale magnetism has significant consequences for global quantities such as the total solar irradiance or convective blueshift of spectral ...
  • Sengupta, S (IOP Publishing, 2018-07-01)
    Being the first, and currently the only, multiple planet hosting dwarf star that is sufficiently cool to form condensate clouds in its atmosphere, Trappist-1 provides a unique opportunity to test the efficiency of image ...
  • Pavana, M; Ramya, M. Anche; Anupama, G. C; Ramaprakash, A. N; Selvakumar, G (EDP Sciences, 2019-02)
    Aims. We aim to study the spectroscopic and ionized structural evolution of T Pyx during its 2011 outburst, and also study the variation in degree of polarization during its early phase. Methods. Optical spectroscopic data ...
  • Abe, M; Prasannaa, V. S; Das, B. P (The American Physical Society, 2018-03)
    Heavy polar diatomic molecules are currently among the most promising probes of fundamental physics. Constraining the electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM), in order to explore physics beyond the standard model, ...
  • Brandenburg, Axel; Chatterjee, Piyali (WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co., 2018-02)
    To explain the large-scale magnetic field of the sun and other bodies, the mean-field dynamo theory is commonly applied, where one solves the averaged equations for the mean magnetic field. However, the standard approach ...
  • Ramya, M. Anche; Sen, A; Anupama, G. C; Sankarasubramanian, K; Skidmore, W (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2018-01)
    An analytical model has been developed to estimate the polarization effects, such as instrumental polarization (IP), crosstalk (CT), and depolarization, due to the optics of the Thirty Meter Telescope. These are estimated ...
  • Davies, R. L; Groves, B; Kewley, L. J; Medling, A. M; Shastri, P; Maithil, J; Kharb, P; Banfield, J; Longbottom, F; Dopita, M. A; Hampton, E. J; Scharwachter, J; Sutherland, R; Jin, C; Zaw, I; Juneau, S (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-08)
    The most rapidly evolving regions of galaxies often display complex optical spectra with emission lines excited by massive stars, shocks and accretion on to supermassive black holes. Standard calibrations (such as for ...
  • Deshmukh, P. G; Mandal, A; Parihar, P. S; Nayak, D; Mishra, Deepta Sundar (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2018-01)
    Segmented mirror telescopes (SMT) are built using several small hexagonal mirrors positioned and aligned by the three actuators and six edge sensors per segment to maintain the shape of the primary mirror. The actuators ...
  • Hema, B. P; Pandey, G; Kamath, D; Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L; Woolf, V. M (IOP Publishing, 2017-10)
    Abundance analyses of the two newly discovered R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars ASAS-RCB-8 and ASAS-RCB-10 were conducted using high-resolution optical spectra and model atmospheres. Their chemical compositions place the pair ...
  • Prasanna Deshmukh; Parihar, P. S; Balasubramaniam, K. A; Mishra, Deepta Sundar; Mahesh, P. K (World Scientific Publishing Co., 2017-09)
    Upcoming large telescopes are based on Segmented Mirror Telescope (SMT) technology which uses small hexagonal mirror segments placed side by side to form the large monolithic surface. The segments alignment needs to be ...
  • Arellano Ferro, A; Rosenzweig, P; Luna, A; Deras, D; Muneer, S; Giridhar, S; Michel, R (WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co., 2018-02)
    Based on photometric data obtained between 1935 and 2017, O −C diagrams were built for 22 RR Lyrae stars in the globular cluster NGC 6171, leading to the discovery of secular period changes in four variables for which we ...
  • Rebecca, L; Arun, K; Sivaram, C (Springer, 2018-07)
    The requirement that their gravitational binding self-energy density must at least equal the background repulsive dark energy density for large scale cosmic structures implies a mass-radius relation of M/R2 ≈ 1 g/cm2, as ...

    The blazar 3C 454.3 exhibited a strong flare seen in γ -rays, X-rays and optical/near-infrared bands during 2009 December 3–12. Emission in the V and J bands rose more gradually than did the γ -rays and soft X-rays, ...
