    To model the second solar spectrum (the linearly polarized spectrum of the Sun that is due to coherent scattering processes), one needs to solve the polarized radiative transfer (RT) equation. For strong resonance lines, ...
  • An estimate of the structural parameters of the Large Magellanic Cloud using red clump stars 
    Subramanian, S; Subramaniam, A (EDP Science, 2010-10)
    Aims. We used the red clump stars from the VI photometric data of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE III) survey and from the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey (MCPS) to estimate the structural parameters ...
  • Determination of the mean HI absorption of the intergalactic medium 
    Aghaee, A; Petitjean, P; Srianand, R; Stalin, C. S; Guimaraes, R (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2010-06)
    In recent years, the Lyman-α forest in quasar spectra has been used, together with N-body simulations, to determine the underlying matter distribution in the intergalactic medium (IGM). One of the key parameters to be ...
  • Spectroscopic survey of emission line stars in open clusters 
    Subramaniam, A; Mathew, B (Springer, 2010)
    We summarize a study of emission-line stars in young open clusters. The study was done in two phases. The first phase was the survey, where the emission stars in young open clusters were identified using the slitless ...
  • MHD waves at a tangential discontinuity with inclined magnetic fields and flows 
    Satya Narayanan, A; Pandey, V; Venkatakrishnan, P (European Solar Physics, 2008-09)
    Propagation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in inhomo- geneous magnetic plasmas is interesting from space and astrophysical point of view. In this study, the combined effect of non-parallel propagation, steady flow and ...
  • High speed photometry of SS cygni after an outburst 
    Seetha, S; Padmini, V. N; Marar, T. M. K; Kasturirangan, K; Rao, U. R; Bhattacharyya, J. C (Konkoly Observatory, 1985-12-20)
  • Simultaneous dual wavelength observations of an impulsive microwave burst using the V.L.A. 
    Shevgaonkar, R. K; Kundu, M. R (Elsevier B.V., 1984)
    Simultaneous observations of a microwave burst at 2 and 6 cm wavelengths were carried out with the Very Large Array (VLA). The 6 cm burst source is located close to a magnetic neutral line, presumably near the top of a ...
  • Multiwavelength observations of a preflare solar active region using the VLA 
    Kundu, M. R; Shevgaonkar, R. K (The University of Chicago Press, 1985-04)
    A preflare active region was studied using the Very Large Array at 2, 6, and 20 cm. At 2 cm the region is composed of two components located in regions of opposite polarity. Both components are preheated prior to the ...
  • Microwave emission from late-type dwarf stars UV Ceti and YZ Canis Minoris 
    Kundu, M. R; Shevgaonkar, R. K (The University of Chicago Press, 1985-10-15)
    Simultaneous high-resolution observations of two late-type dwarf stars, UV Cet and YZ CMi, at 6 and 20 cm are presented. These observations put sufficient constraints on existing interpretations to conclude that the quiescent ...
  • Simultaneous microwave observations of solar flares at 6 and 20 CM wavelengths using the VLA 
    Melozzi, M; Kundu, M. R; Shevgaonkar, R. K (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1985-06)
    Using the Very Large Array, solar burst observations have been carried out simultaneously at 6 and 20 cm. Structural changes and preheating have been observed in the flaring regions on time scales of minutes to tens of ...
  • Understanding the effects of geometry and rotation on pulsar intensity profiles 
    Thomas, R. M. C; Gupta, Y; Gangadhara, R. T (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-08-01)
    We have developed a method to compute the possible distribution of radio emission regions in a typical pulsar magnetosphere, taking into account the viewing geometry and rotational effects of the neutron star. Our method ...
  • The Indian National Large Solar Telescope (NLST) 
    Hasan, S. S (Cambridge University Press, 2010-02)

    Rathinavelu, G. D; Sivaraman, M; Satya Narayanan, A (IOP Publishing, 2010-02)

  • The Sun in the Universe 
    Sivaram, C (Springer, 2010)
    This chapter provides an over view of: (1) Processes in the solar core and corona; (2) The Sun’s place in the galaxy and universe and uniqueness of the Sun for life on earth; (3) The Sun’s role in Olber’s paradox (darkness ...
  • High-resolution spectroscopy of the R Coronae Borealis and Other Hydrogen Deficient Stars 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L (Springer, 2010)

  • The galactic thick disk: an observational perspective 
    Reddy, B. E (Cambridge University Press, 2010-03)
    In this review, we present a brief description of observational efforts to understand the Galactic thick disk and its relation to the other Galactic components. This review primarily focused on elemental abundance patterns ...
