  • Elemental abundances in CEMP stars: r– and s–process elements 
    Goswami, A; Athiray, S. P; Drisya, K (Springer, 2010)
    A number of Carbon-Enhanced Metal-poor (CEMP) stars are known to exhibit enhancement of both r – and s – process elements. An understanding of the relative contributions from r – and s – process would provide insight into ...
  • An improved Technique to Explore Disk Accretion Process in PMS Stars 
    Parihar, P. S (Springer, 2010)
    The low mass PMS stars are found to be surrounded by thick, flared accretion disk and the disk material is supposed to be funneled onto the stellar surface by strong and predominately dipolar magnetic field. We have developed ...
