  • A new investigation of microbursts at meter-decameter wavelengths 
    Subramanian, K. R; Gopalswamy, N; Sastry, Ch. V (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993-02)
    The results of a new investigation of microbursts at meter-decameter wavelengths are reported. Several properties of microbursts reported earlier are confirmed, and some new properties, such as time profile characteristics, ...
  • Dispersion Velocity of Galactic Dark Matter Particles 
    Cowsik, R; Ratnam, C; Bhattacharjee, P (The American Physical Society, 1996-05)
    The self-consistent spatial distribution of particles of galactic dark matter is derived including their own gravitational potential, as also of that of the visible matter of the Galaxy. In order to reproduce the observed ...
  • Transient 1/f noise 
    Sinha, S (The American Physical Society, 1996-05)
    We provide examples of transient (nonasymptotic) ``1/f noise,'' occurring over reasonably long time scales, in extended nonlinear systems modeling complex spatiotemporal phenomena. These studies contribute towards establishing ...
  • Near Infrared Observations of Sakurai's Object during 1998-99 
    Kamath, U. S; Ashok, N. M (Springer, 2002-03)
    We present new near-infrared observations of Sakurai's Object obtained during 1998-99 when this final helium shell flash object was in the dust condensation phase. The infrared colours have reddened compared to earlier ...
  • Correlation between magnetic shear and magnetic tension in a solar active region 
    Venkatakrishnan, P; Narayanan, R. S; Prasad, N. D. N (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993-04)
    The difference between the magnetic tension and magnetic shear was calculated for four vector magnetograms of NOAA AR 4474. It was seen that this difference between the two independent angular measures of magnetic stress ...
  • Anomalous dust in the environment of Herbig Ae/Be stars 
    Gorti, U; Bhatt, H. C (European Southern Observatory, 1993-04)
    Photometric data in the UBVRI bands of Herbig Ae/Be stars have been analyzed to study the wavelength dependence of extinction to these objects. The color excess ratios E(U-B)/E(B-V), E(V-R)/E(B-V), E(V-I)/E(B-V) and ...
  • Filament activity in a quiet region flare 
    Sundararaman, K; Gupta, S. S; Selvendran, R (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1993-03)
    We have taken the case of a circular H-alpha filament observed on May 9, 1979 erupting into a double-ribbon flare associated with a nonspot region. The plage motions are responsible for the filament reorientation and, here ...
  • The Density Structure of a Galaxy Influenced by a Massive Companion 
    Namboodiri, P. M. S; Kochhar, R. K (Royal Astronomical Society, 1993-04-15)
    The tidal influence of a massive galaxy on a non-rotating spherical companion is studied using numerical simulations. The simulations use various values of mass ratio and velocity of collision while the pericentric distance ...
  • Alfvén vortices in nonuniform dusty magnetoplasmas 
    Shukla, P. K; Varma, R. K; Krishan, V; Mckenzie, J. F (The American Physical Society, 1993-01)
    The Alfvén waves are shown to be linearly coupled with finite-frequency convective cell modes in a nonuniform cold dusty magnetoplasma. The dynamics of weakly interacting finite-amplitude electromagnetic oscillations is ...
  • Characteristics of synchrotron Čerenkov radiation 
    Pratap, R; Sasidharan, K; Krishan, V (The American physical Society, 1993-01)
    A diagrammatic technique has been worked out in the framework of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as developed by Prigogine and co-workers to tackle the problem of radiation emission from a relativistic electron in an ...
  • Onset of Hydrodynamic Non-Equilibrium in Helmet Streamers 
    Venkatakrishnan, P (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996-06)
    The steady-state solar wind solution is examined for different geometries of the flow tube that mimics a helmet streamer. Onset of non-equilibrium is seen whenever the spatial variation of the flow geometry crosses critical ...
  • Ellipsometry of Coelostat Coatings Using a Babinet Compensator: Simulation of the Experimental Accuracy 
    Sankarasubramanian, K; Venkatakrishnan, P (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996-08)
    The precise measurement of solar magnetic fields requires an accurate measurement of the Muller matrix of the optical components in the path of the light beam, which again requires a careful measurement of the optical ...
  • Spectral Variations of DY Cen 
    Giridhar, S; Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L (Indaian Academy of Sciences, 1996-06)
    Two high resolution spectra of the hot RCrB star DY Cen in the red region are compared. The photospheric absorption lines show a radial velocity variation of 12 km s(sup -1) between 1989 July and 1992 May. Emission components ...
  • Line profile variations in γ Doradus 
    Balona, L. A; Böhm, T; Foing, B. H; Ghosh, K. K; Janot-Pacheco, E; Krisciunas, K; Lagrange, A. M; Lawson, W. A; James, S. D; Baudrand, J; Catala, C; Dreux, M; Felenbok, P; Hearnshaw, J. B (Royal Astronomical Society, 1996-08)
    We present data from high-dispersion echelle spectra and simultaneous uvby photometry for γ Doradus. These data were obtained from several sites during 1994 November as part of the MUSICOS-94 campaign. The star has two ...

    Kathiravan, C; Ramesh, R; Subramanian, K. R (University of Chicago Press, 2002-03)
    We report metric radio observations and the results obtained using two-dimensional ray-tracing analysis of the solar corona close to the onset phase of the exceptionally bright prominence eruption and the associated massive ...
  • A study of accretion discs around rapidly rotating neutron stars in general relativity and its applications to four low mass X-ray binaries 
    Bhattacharyya, S (E D P Sciences, 2002-02)
