  • A possible P-L relation for RR-Lyrae variables in globular clusters 
    Scaria, K. K (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1984-08)
    A study of the mean photographic magnitudes of RR Lyrae variables in galactic globular clusters has shown that the luminosity of RR-ab variables decreases with period. It is found that RR-ab variables, in the cluster ω ...
  • The determination of a spectroscopic binary orbit 
    Singh, M (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1984-03)
    An efficient analytical method for determining the orbit of a spectroscopic binary is presented. The advantages of the method are: (1) its accuracy, (2) its rapidity, and (3) the possibility of making adjustments in the ...

    Seal, P (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1985-07)
    From IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) Circulars Nos. 4 to 15, 110 infrared sources have been identified. Out of these 110 identified sources 99 are galaxies, nine are nebulae, one is a dark object, and one is a ...
  • Chromospheric inhomogeneities: origins and dynamics 
    Venkatakrishnan, P (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1985-10-05)
    Observations of the solar chromosphere in selected spectral lines reveal a large number of inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities owe their origin to local a large enhancement of the Photospheric magnetic fields. The ...
  • Similarity solutions for buoyancy induced flows in a saturated porous medium adjacent to impermeable horizontal surfaces 
    Chandrasekhara, B. C; Namboodiri, P. M. S; Hanumanthappa, A. R (Springer, 1984-03)
    In the present paper similarity solutions for the convective flow induced by buoyancy in a saturated porous medium adjacent to horizontal impermeable surfaces are obtained. The analysis incorporates the variation of ...
  • Ion-sound turbulence due to shock gradients in collisionless plasmas 
    Gopalswamy, N; Thejappa, G (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1985-11)
    The dispersion relation for ion sound waves generated in a perpendicular shock is derived and the energy density of ion-sound turbulence is obtained using quasilinear theory. The result is compared with the lower hybrid ...
  • On the consequences of a new initial-final mass relation for low and intermediate mass stars and the birthrate of planetary nebulae 
    Mallik, D. C. V (Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, 1985)
    Recent work on the initial-final mass relation for low-and intermediate-mass stars and the mass distribution of the nuclei of planetary nebulae sets a lower limit on the initial mass of progenitors of PN which is substantially ...
  • Lunar occultation techniques in investigations of binary stars 
    Bhattacharyya, J. C (Tira Pustaka, Jakarta, 1984)
    The paper discusses the possibility of direct measurement of angular separations and luminosity ratios of components of unresolved binary systems through observations of lunar occultations. A current program at Kavalur ...
  • Distribution of bhb-stars in the cluster ω centauri and its effect on the radial change in colour and ellipticity of the cluster 
    Scaria, K. K; Bappu, M. K. V (Tira Pustaka, Jakarta, 1984)
    The authors have studied the radial change in the distribution of giant branch stars and the horizontal branch stars in ω Centauri. They show how the observed change in the distribution is related to the radial change in ...
  • Long-term photometric variations of the active RS CVn binaries DM UMa and II Peg 
    Mohin, S; Raveendran, A. V; Mekkaden, M. V (International Astronomical Union, 1995)
  • Comment on “Southward magnetic field in the neutral sheet produced by wavy motions propagating in the dawn-dusk direction” 
    Uberoi, C (American Geophysical Union, 1991-03)
    In a recent paper Nakagawa and Nishida [1989] have suggested that wavy motions of the neutral sheet can be generated by the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability if the dawn‐dusk flow of only several tens of km/s is present. However, ...
  • Supersonic cloud collision. II 
    Anathpindika, S (EDP Sciences, 2009-09)
    Aims. In this second paper of the sequel of two papers, we continue to investigate the problem of molecular cloud (MC) collision. The companion paper to this one considered highly supersonic cloud collisions and examined ...
  • Supersonic cloud collision. I 
    Anathpindika, S (EDP Sciences, 2009-09)
    It has long been suggested that shocks might play an important role in altering the form of the interstellar medium (ISM). Shocks enhance gas density and sufficiently dense regions may become self gravitating. Potential ...
