    Korchagin, V; Kembhavi, A. K; Mayya, Y. D; Prabhu, T. P (The American Astronomical Society, 1995-06)
    We investigate self-regulated propagation of stars formation, which is one of the possible scenarios of stars formation in molecular clouds fragmented into cold dense structures with masses lying near the Jeans limit. ...

  • A comparative study of finite-difference methods for radiative transfer problems. 
    Mohan Rao, D; Varghese, B. A; Srinivasa Rao, M (Elsevier, 1995-06)
    We have compared the numerical results of two widely used difference methods for the radiative transfer equation in plane-parallel medium. The Discrete Space theory (DS) is based on the direct first-order differential ...
  • Near-infrared and optical imaging of Q2345+007: The largest gravitationally lensed QSO system? 
    Gopal-Krishna; Yates, M; Wiita, P. J; Smette, A; Pati, A. K; Altieri, B (The European Southern Observatory, 1993-12)
    We have taken K, R, V, and B band images of Q 2345+007, which has been claimed to be the gravitationally lensed quasar with the widest separation between the two images (approximately equal 7 arcsec), although the lens ...
  • Scale transformations and evolution of the early universe 
    Sivaram, C (Springer, 1993-09)
    The notion of discrete scale transformations is invoked to suggest strong links between fundamental interactions and cosmology giving rise to a hierarchy of cosmic scales.
  • "Steady" and "Fluctuating" Parts of the Sun's Internal Magnetic Field: Improved Model 
    Hiremath, K. M; Gokhale, M. H (The American Astronomical Society, 1995-07)
    Using reasonable assumptions and approximations it is shown that the poloidal component part of the magnetic field in the Sun's radiative core (RC) and convection zone (CE) can be modeled as in an analytical solution of ...
  • Detection of additional absorption in the post-outburst spectra of MU Centauri 
    Ghosh, K. K; Kuppuswamy, K; Pukalenthi, S; Selvakumar, G (The American Astronomical Society, 1991-09)
    A large number of photographic (92) and CCD (27) spectra of the pole-on Be star, Mu Cen, were obtained between February 1987 and May 1990. From the results of the above-mentioned spectra a weak outburst was detected in ...
  • X-ray spectrum (0.1-10 keV) of the broad line radio galaxy - 3C 390.3 
    Ghosh, K. K; Sondararajaperumal, S (The American Astronomical Society, 1991-10)
    Results are presented of observations of the broad-line radio galaxy, 3C 390.3 that were made with Exosat on several occasions between 1984 and 1986 using low- (LE) and medium-energy (ME) detectors. Detailed findings of ...
  • Coronal heating and chromospheric energy density: An observational association 
    Venkatakrishnan, P (Springer, 1993-12)
    The time-averaged equivalent width of the He 1 10830 Angstrom line is seen to be correlated with the time-averaged line width. This correlation is interpreted as evidence for the association of the chromospheric energy ...
  • A photoionization model of the nebula around the WC11 star M4-18 
    Surendiranath, R; Kameswara Rao, N (Blackwell Publishing, 1995-08)

  • Frenet-Serret description of gyroscopic precession 
    Iyer, B. R; Vishveshwara, C. V (The American Physical Society, 1993)

  • Simultaneous infrared and H-alpha measurements of Be stars 
    Apparao, K. M. V; Tarafdar, S. P; Verma, R. P; Iyengar, K. V. K; Ghosh, K. K (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1993)
    The observed infrared excess in Be stars is usually interpreted as free-free and free-bound emission from a hot gas envelope around the Be star. This hot gas should also emit H-alpha line radiation. Earlier observations ...
  • Torsion, massive electrodynamics and primordial magnetic fields in the Early Universe 
    de Andrade, L. C. G; Sivaram, C (Springer, 1993)
    A recent model of torsion-modified electrodynamics which breaks the electromagnetic conformal invariance is shown to lead to the generation of magnetic fields in the Early Universe.
