    Shylaja, B. S (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1986-12)
    New spectrophotometric observations of the Wolf-Rayet system HD 50896 are presented and interpreted in terms of its binary nature. The lines of N V, N IV and C IV show moderate variations which can be explained using a ...
  • A New Polarimeter for Stellar Polarization Measurement 
    Saxena, A. K (International Astronomical Union, 1986)
    A polarimeter for the measurement of Stokes' parameters for stellar and quasi stellar objects in specific wavelength regions has been reported. The variable retardation and dispersive property of a small angle Babinet ...
  • Minimum Relative Entropy Method - Solution to Missing Short Baseline Problem 
    Shevgaonkar, R. K (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1986-12)
    The minimum-relative-entropy method (MREM) is proposed as a solution to the missing short-baseline problem in radio synthesis observations. It is shown that a measure of distance between the prior model and the image in ...
  • A Single-Channel Polarimeter 
    Jain, S. K; Bhattacharyya, J. C (International Astronomical Union, 1986)
    The authors have developed a single-channel photopolarimeter to measure polarization to ≡1%, with an accuracy of 0.1%. Laboratory tests show that the performance of the instrument matches the requirements.
  • CN 1-1 - A peculiar compact planetary nebula 
    Bhatt, H. C; Mallik, D. C. V (The European Southern Observatory, 1986-11)
    Cn 1-1 is an emission-line object that shows strong emission lines characteristic of high density planetary nebulae superposed on the stellar spectrum of an F5 III-IV star. The authors estimate the absolute luminosity of ...
  • Variation of linear polarization in the R Aquarii system 
    Deshpande, M. R; Joshi, U. C; Kulshrestha, A. K; Sen, A. K; Kameswara Rao, N; Raveendran, A. V (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1987-01)
    Linear polarization measurements of the R Aqr system are reported here. The R Aqr system shows strong wavelength dependence of percent polarization and position angle, which are strongly time dependent also. There is a ...
  • Does sunspot activity originate in slow global oscillations of the sun? 
    Gokhale, M. H (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1986-12)
    A Fourier analysis of sunspot activity during the 1933-1954 period using data entending over the first 10 degrees and all azimuthal orders of the spherical harmonics is presented, and results suggest that the sunspot ...
  • Seya namioka monochromators theory and design of holographic concave grating 
    Singh, M; Reddy, G. P (Elsevier, 1986-11)
  • On the saturation of the refractive index structure function. I - Enhanced hopes for long baseline optical interferometry 
    Venkatakrishnan, P; Chatterjee, S (Royal Astronomical Society, 1987-01)
    The Kolomogorov- Obukhov law for the refractive index structure function is shown to be only an approximation valid in the inertial sub range of turbulence. The inclusion of saturation effects for larger separations leads ...
  • Characteristics of the solar wind at 1 a.u. in relation to Hale sector boundaries 
    Sastri, J. H (Elsevier, 1986-09)
    A study is made of the solar wind characteristics at 1 a.u. in the vicinity of Hale and anti-Hale sector boundaries (SBs), after isolating the SBs with solar activity related temporal flows and/or transient interplanetary ...
  • Crustal shear velocity structure of the south Indian shield 
    Rai, S. S; Priestley, K; Suryaprakasam, K; Srinagesh, D; Gaur, V. K; Du, Z (American Geophysical Union, 2003-02-11)
    The south Indian shield is a collage of Precambrian terrains gathered around and in part derived from the Archean-age Dharwar craton. We operated seven broadband seismographs on the shield along a N-S corridor from Nanded ...

    Gupta, S; Rai, S. S; Prakasam, K. S; Srinagesh, D; Bansal, B. K; Chandha, R. K; Priestley, K; Gaur, V. K (American Geophysical Union, 2003-04-16)
    We present crustal thickness and Poisson's ratio determinations from receiver function analyzes at 32 sites on the Archaean and Proterozoic terrains of South India. The crustal thickness in the late Archaean (2.5 Ga) Eastern ...
  • E2-transition probabilities for NiXVIII 
    Ray, H (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003-02)
