  • A deep UBVRI CCD photometric study of the open clusters Tr1 and Be 11 
    Yadav, R. K. S; Sagar, R (Royal Astronomical Society, 2002-11)
    We present deep UBVRI charge-coupled device (CCD) photometry for the young open star clusters Tr1 and Be11. The CCD data for Be11 are obtained for the first time. The sample consists of ~1500 stars reaching down to V~ 21 ...
  • Nature of Tilt Angles of Sunspot Groups During the 22nd Solar Cycle 
    Muneer, S; Singh, J (Springer, 2002-10)
    Daily white-light images from Kodaikanal Observatory have been utilized to study the nature of tilt angles of sunspot groups during the 22nd solar cycle. 2416 spot groups have been measured to find the tilt angle. An average ...

  • The Mass Function of Young Star Clusters in our Galaxy and Nearby Galaxies: Is It Universal? 
    Sagar, R (International Astronomical union, 2002)
    Mass functions (MFs) derived from photometric observations of young star clusters of our Galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds (MCs), M31 and M33 have been used to investigate the question of universality of the initial mass ...
  • Spectroscopic Observation of Coronal Waves

    A time sequence over 80 min of coronal green-line spectra was obtained with a corona- graph at the Norikura Solar Observatory. Doppler velocities, line intensities, and line widths were derived through fitting a single ...
  • On the Out of Phase Appearance of Large-Scale Diffuse Magnetic Field of the Sun with Respect to Sunspots 
    Dikpati, M; Choudhuri, A. R (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996-03)
    We assume the large-scale diffuse magnetic field of the Sun to originate from the poloidal component of a dynamo operating at the base of the convection zone, whereas the sunspots are due to the toroidal component. The ...
  • Estimation of Fried's Parameter From Specklegrams of Solar Features 
    Sridharan, R; Venkatakrishnan, P; Verma, V. K (Springer, 2002-12)

  • Dynamical Effects in Solar Photospheric Flux Tubes 
    Hasan, S. S (Kluwer Academic Publisher, 1996)
    The interaction of an intense flux tube, extending vertically through the photosphere, with p-modes in the ambient medium is modelled by solving the time dependent MHD equations in the thin flux tube approximation. It is ...
  • Observability of Coronal Heating Processes 
    Venkatakrishnan, P (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996)
    The mechanisms that could possibly heat the corona are briefly reviewed with emphasis on their observability. Observing enhanced wave flux at footpoints of active regions would confirm wave heating. Observation of nonthermal ...
