    Results are reported from visual spectroscopy of the recurrent nova RS Oph, obtained with a Cassegrain spectrograph on the 102-cm reflector at Vainu Bappu Observatory in February-May 1985 (days 32-108 postoutburst). The ...
  • Excitation of Longitudinal Modes in Solar Magnetic Flux Tubes by p-Modes 
    Hasan, S. S; Kalkofen, W (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1998)
    This is a continuation of earlier work by Hasan (1997) on the interaction of longitudinal (sausage) waves in a slender flux tube with p-modes in the ambient medium. We use a realistic stratification for the flux tube and ...
  • Spectroscopic studies of R CrB during light minima - Absorption spectrum 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Giridhar, S; Ashoka, B. N (Royal Astronomical Society, 1990-05)
    R CrB was observed during the 1986 shallow minimum to study the spectral changes taking place during light minimum as compared with the spectrum at maximum light. The absorption spectrum at this minimum is very similar to ...
  • The giant branch of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy 
    Sagar, R; Hawkins, M. R. S; Cannon, R. D (The Royal Astronomical Society, 1990-01)
    A color-magnitude diagram for a large sample of stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy has been obtained from BV electronographic observations. These reach to the level of the horizontal branch, below V = 21 mag. The ...
  • Measurements of linear polarization of some Herbig Ae/Be stars 
    Jain, S. K; Bhatt, H. C; Sagar, R (The American Physical Society, 1990-05)
    The linear polarization of eight bright Herbig Ae/Be stars in UBVRI bands has been measured. No unique wavelength dependence of polarization magnitude or direction is found in these measurements. Comparison with earlier ...
  • High-resolution studies of forbidden O I and NH2 line emissions at 6300 A in Halley's comet 
    Prasad, C. D; Chandrasekhar, T; Desai, J. N; Ashok, N. M; Sivaraman, K. R; Rajmohan, R (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1988-06)
    The forbidden O I line and NH2 (0-8-0) emissions of Comet Halley at about 6300 A were observed during April 1986 using a Fabry-Perot spectrometer with a resolution of about 0.14 A. The forbidden O I line and NH2 rotational ...
  • On the Neutrino Emissivity of Degenerate Strange Quark Matter 
    Datta, B; Raha, S; Sinha, B (World Scientific Publishing Company, 1988-10)
    We examine the neutrino emissivity of a system of degenerate three-component (u, d, s) strange quark matter using improved expressions for the quark chemical potentials in a self-consistent manner, and obtain tighter bounds ...
  • Kinematical distances to open star clusters 
    Sagar, R; Bhatt, H. C (Indian Academy Sciences, 1988-06)
    Kinematical distances are estimated for six open star clusters. They agree fairly well with the photometric distances. The kinematical distances cannot, at present, be estimated better than the photometric distances. When ...
  • Equatorial electric-fields of ionospheric disturbance dynamo orgin 
    Sastri, J. H (European Geosciences Union, 1988-12)
    Persistent and significant reductions in the strength of the equatorial electrojet, accompanied by poor development of the equatorial ionization anomaly, are noted to sometimes occur in association with negative ionospheric ...
  • Filling factor determinations and their effects on planetary nebula studies 
    Mallik, D. C. V; Peimbert, M (Instituto de Astronomía, 1988-12)
    The authors have computed the filling factor for a sample of thirty-five galactic PN for which there are distance estimates independent of statistical arguments. They found that about half of the PN in their sample have ...
  • BV photometry of UX ARIETIS 
    Mohin, S; Raveendran, A. V (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1989-03)
    Differential BV photometry of UX Ari obtained on 58 nights during 1984-1985, 1985-1986, 1986-1987, and 1987-1988 observing season is presented. It is found that (B-V) is phase dependent, with the system being reddest at ...
  • Emission Spectrum of Hot R CrB star Mv Sgr 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Houziaux, L; Giridhar, S (Indian Academy Sciences, 1990-03)
    The new spectroscopic observation of MV Sgr obtained at ESO in 1987july shows enhanced emission lines of He I , λ 3889, [S II ] λ 4068 relative to the observations discussed by Jeffrey et al. (1988). The presence of [SII] ...
  • Effects of rotation on the colours and line indices of stars. I - The Alpha Persei Cluster 
    Rajamohan, R; Mathew, A (Indian Academy Sciences, 1988-06)
    Analysis of the available observational data for the Alpha-Persei cluster members shows that rotation effects on the intermediate-band indices c1 and (u-b) are considerable. In c1, rotation produces a reddening of 0.040 ...
  • Reversals in Bz component of interplanetary magnetic field and equatorial zonal electric field 
    Sastri, J. H (Elsevier, 1988-08)
    Sudden northward turnings of the Bz (North-South) component of the interplanetary magnetic field, IMF, are sometimes associated with anomalous reversals in the equatorial East-West electric field. The electric field reversal ...
  • Consequences of a chromospheric temperature rise on the formation of the H-alpha line in late-type supergiants 
    Mallik, S. G. V; Mallik, D. C. V (Royal Astronomical Society, 1988-08)
    Computations of the H-alpha line profiles were performed in a non-LTE moving chromosphere with temperature rise to simulate the observed H-alpha characteristics in G and K supergiants. The comoving frame radiative transfer ...
  • Segregation of dust and abundance inhomogeneities in globular clusters 
    Bhatt, H. C (Royal Astronomical Society, 1988-08)
