  • Nonlinear force-free field modeling of the solar magnetic carpet and comparison with SDO/HMI and Sunrise/IMaX observations 
    Pradeep Chitta, L; Kariyappa, K; van Ballegooijen, A. A; DeLuca, E. E; Solanki, S. K (IOP Publishing, 2014)
    In the quiet solar photosphere, the mixed polarity fields form a magnetic carpet, which continuously evolves due to dynamical interaction between the convective motions and magnetic field. This interplay is a viable source ...
  • Probing the Active Massive Black Hole Candidate in the Center of NGC 404 with VLBI 
    Paragi, Z; Frey, S; Kaaret, P; Cseh, D; Overzier, R; Preethi, K (IOP Publishing, 2014-08-10)
    Recently, Nyland et al. argued that the radio emission observed in the center of the dwarf galaxy NGC 404 originates in a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus powered by a massive black hole (MBH, M lsim 106 M ☉). ...
  • Indian summer monsoon rainfall: dancing with the tunes of the Sun 
    Hiremath, K. M; Hegde, M; Soon, Willie (Elsevier, 2015-02)
    There is strong statistical evidence that solar activity influences the Indian summer monsoon rainfall. To search for a physical link between the two, we consider the coupled cloud hydrodynamic equations, and derive an ...
  • X-ray variability and the inner region in active galactic nuclei 
    Mohan, Prashanth; Mangalam, A (IOP Publishing, 2014-08-20)
    We present theoretical models of X-ray variability attributable to orbital signatures from an accretion disk including emission region size, quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), and its quality factor Q, and the emergence ...
  • 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 ...
