    Srivastava, A. K; Singh, J; Dwivedi, B. N; Muneer, S; Sakurai, T; Ichimoto, K (Astronomical Society of India, 2007-12)
    We consider the first 27-level atomic model of Fe XIII (5.9 K < log Te < 6.4 K) to estimate its ground level populations, taking account of electron as well as proton collisional excitations and de-excitations, radiative ...
  • Study of bubble nebula using IUE high resolution spectra 
    Anand, M. Y; Kagali, B. A; Murthy, J (Astronomical Society of India, 2009-06)
    In this paper, we have analyzed IUE high resolution spectra of the central star (BD+602522) of the Bubble nebula. We discuss velocities of the different regions along the line of sight to the bubble. We find that the Bubble ...
  • Magnetic nature of coronal loops 
    Singh, J; Muneer, S; Sakurai, T; Ichimoto, K (Astronomical Society of India, 2007-12)
    It is generally believed that the magnetic pressure is much higher than the gas pressure in the coronal loops and these loops are isothermal in nature. We made systematic observations of four strong coronal emission lines ...
  • Design and analysis of an FUV spectrograph for a small satellite 
    Munshi, R; Prasad, B. R; Murthy, J (Astronomical Society of India, 2009-06)
