    In this communication we present the circumstances of the total solar eclipse of Oct 17, 1762 that passed over India, specific to Amritsar to recreate the ambience that may serve as a definitive input to certain perceptions ...
  • Dangerous Face of the Sun 
    Sundararaman, K (NISCAIR-CSIR, India, 2010-11)
    Are we going to be roasted alive by killer solar storms that may arrive during the next solar maximum in 2012? Why and how do these solar flares occur and how do they affect the earth? Read on to find out

    Muneer, S; Jayakumar, K; Rosario, M. J; Raveendran, A. V; Mekkaden, M. V (EDP Sciences, 2010-10)
    We attempt to establish the real nature of the orbital period variation and its relation to the spot activity of V711 Tau, and determine why the (B–V) colour of the star appears to be nearly independent of its V magnitude. ...

    Carla, T; Narendra, B; Paolo, C; Alberto, R; Gianna, V; Neeharika, S; Peter, J; Muawia, H. S; Ballabh, G. M (John Wiley & Sons, 2010-11)
    Asteroid 2008 TC3 was predicted to fall in Sudan on October 7, 2008, and 2 months later, 15 meteorite fragments were recovered from the Nubian Desert. Most of these fragments were classified as polymict ureilites. In the ...
  • Modeling the Subsurface Structure of Sunspots 
    Moradi, H; Baldner, C; Birch, A. C; Braun, D. C; Cameron, R. H; Duvall, T. L; Gizon, L; Haber, D; Hanasoge, S. M; Hindman, B. W; Jackiewicz, J; Khomenko, E; Komm, R; Rajaguru, S. P; Rempel, M; Roth, M; Schlichenmaier, R; Schunker, H; Spruit, H. C; Strassmeier, K. G; Thompson, M. J; Zharkov, S (Springer, 2010-11)
    While sunspots are easily observed at the solar surface, determining their subsurface structure is not trivial. There are two main hypotheses for the subsurface structure of sunspots: the monolithic model and the cluster ...
