  • The combined effect of partial redistribution and non-coherent electron scattering on polarized resonance line transfer 
    Nagendra, K. N; Rangarajan, K. E; Mohan Rao, D (Royal Astronomical Society, 1993-06-15)
    The combined effect of partial frequency redistribution by atoms (PRD) and noncoherent electron scattering (NCES) on line formation is studied, taking account of the polarization state of the radiation field in resonance ...
  • Orbital decay of protostellar binaries in molecular clouds 
    Gorti, U; Bhatt, H. C (Royal Astronomical Society, 1996-11)
    The evolution of protostellar binary system is investigated while it is embedded in its parent molecular cloud core and is acted upon by gas drag as a result of dynamical friction. Approximate analytical results are obtained ...
  • Green's matrix for Compton reflection of polarized radiation from cold matter 
    Poutanen, J; Nagendra, K. N; Svensson, R (Royal Astronomical Society, 1996-12)
    The Compton-reflected spectrum from cold matter for incident X-rays and gamma-rays with arbitrary angular, spectral and polarization properties can be determined by a simple folding of Green's matrix with the incident ...
  • Information flow due to controlled interference in entangled systems 
    Srikanth, R (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2002-08)
    We point out that controlled quantum interference corresponds to measurement in an incomplete basis and implies a nonlocal transfer of classical information. A test of whether such a generalized measurement is permissible ...
  • Spin squeezing and quantum correlations 
    Mallesh, K. S; Sirsi, S; Sbaih, M. A. A; Deepak, P. N; Ramachandran, G (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2002-08)
    We discuss the notion of spin squeezing considering two mutually exclusive classes of spin-s states, namely, oriented and non-oriented states. Our analysis shows that the oriented states are not squeezed while non-oriented ...
  • Proof of absence of spooky action at a distance in quantum correlations 
    Unnikrishnan, C. S (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2002-08)
    I prove that there is no spooky action at a distance and nonlocal state-reduction during measurements on quantum entangled systems. The prediction of quantum theory as well as experimental results are in conflict with the ...
  • Evidence for the quantum birth of our Universe 
    Unnikrishnan, C. S; Gillies, G. T; Ritter, R. C (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2002-08)
    We present evidence for a nonsingular origin of the Universe with initial conditions determined by quantum physics and relativistic gravity. In particular, we establish that the present temperature of the microwave background ...
  • Deconstructing IRAS 07027-7934 
    Surendiranath, R (EDP Sciences, 2002-08)
    The planetary nebula IRAS 07027-7934 has a compact ionized core surrounded by a large cloud of matter believed to be of neutral gas and dust particles. A photoionization model of this ionized core is presented in this ...
  • The local stellar population of nova regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud 
    Subramaniam, A; Anupama, G. C (EDP Sciences, 2002-08)
    This study aims at identifying and understanding the parent population of novae in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by studying the local, projected, stellar population. The star formation history of the local environment ...
  • Modern optical astronomy: technology and impact of interferometry 
    Saha, S. K (The American Physical Society, 2002-04)
    The present ``state of the art'' and the path to future progress in high-spatial-resolution imaging interferometry is reviewed. The review begins with a treatment of the fundamentals of stellar optical interferometry, the ...
  • Constraints on stellar grain formation from presolar graphite in the murchison meteorite 
    Bernatowicz, T. J; Cowsik, R; Gibbons, P. C; Lodders, K; Fegley, B. Jr; Amari, S; Lewis, R. S (American Astronomical Society, 1996-12)
    We report the results of isotopic, chemical, structural, and crystallographic microanalyses of graphitic spherules (0.3-9 μm) extracted from the Murchison meteorite. The spherules have sup12C/sup13C ratios ranging over 3 ...
  • Radiative transfer in the distorted and irradiated atmospheres of close binary components 
    Peraiah, A; Srinivasa Rao, M (EDP Sciences, 2002-07)
    We studied the transfer of line radiation in the distorted and expanding atmospheres of close binary components. We assumed that the distortion of the atmosphere is caused by self rotation and tidal force exerted by the ...
  • Term values of Na-like iron group highly stripped ions using coupled-cluster theory 
    Ray, H (Institute of Physics, 2002-07)
    More accurate term values, a few line strengths and transition probabilities for the E2 transitions of the iron group highly stripped ions Fe XVI, Co XVII and Ni XVIII are reported. We have used the fully relativistic ...
  • Radiative Transfer Models of Dust Shells Around Post-AGB Stars 
    Surendiranath, R; Parthasarathy, M; Varghese, B. A (Springer, 2002-09)
    We present a radiative transfer analysis of circumstellar dust shells around the Post-AGB stars HD 179821, HD 56126, HD 101584 and early R star HD 100764, using the code DUSTY. Parameters like mass-loss, shell inner radius, ...
  • Accurate Calculations of Interstellar Lines of Mg+ Using the Coupled Cluster Approach 
    Majumder, S; Merlitz, H; Gopakumar, G; Das, B. P; Mahapatra, U. S; Mukherjee, Debashis (The American Astronomical Society., 2002-07)
    One of the most successful ab initio, highly correlated all-order many-body methods, the relativistic coupled cluster theory, is employed to calculate excitation energies of the doublet states of Mg+ and allowed transitions ...
  • High resolution spectroscopy of the R Coronae Borealis star, V854 Centauri, during a deep minimum 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L (American Astronomical Society, 1993-05)
    The R Coronae Borealis star V854 Cen was observed at minimum light (V about 15) at high spectral resolution from 5480 to 7070 A. The spectrum consists of three components: a continuum devoid of photospheric lines, a ...
  • The modulation of radiation in an electron-positron plasma 
    Gangadhara, R. T; Krishan, V; Shukla, P. K (Royal Astronomical Society, 1993-05-01)
    The modulational instability of a large-amplitude, linearly polarized electromagnetic wave propagating in an electron-positron plasma is considered, including the combined effect of relativistic mass variation of the plasma ...
  • The calcium K-line profiles as function of latitude and solar cycle phase 
    Singh, J (Elsevier, 2002-05)
    We have monitored the Calcium K-line profiles on daily basis at all the latitudes while integrating the spectrum over the visible longitudes of the Sun by moving a 340 mm solar image at a uniform speed in the E-W direction. ...
  • Non-emission-line young stars of intermediate mass 
    Manoj, P; Maheswar, G; Bhatt, H. C (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002-08)
    We present optical spectra of four intermediate-mass candidate young stellar objects that have often been classified as Herbig Ae/Be stars. Typical Herbig Ae/Be emission features are not present in the spectra of these ...
  • A model of the 'steady' and 'fluctuating' parts of the sun's internal magnetic field 
    Gokhale, M. H; Hiremath, K. M (American Astronomical Society, 1993-04-10)
    We model the structure of the 'steady' (slowest varying) part of the sun's internal poloidal magnetic field assuming it to be (for given reasons and in the relevant domain) a current-free field whose field lines 'isorotate' ...
