    Datta, B; Alpar, M. A (European Southern Observatory, 1993-08)
    The dynamical models for neutron star glitches and postglitch behaviour, and the information they yield on the crustal moment of inertia, are applied to a catalogue of neutron star models. The implications for neutron star ...
  • On the Maxwellian alternative to the galactic dark matter problem 
    Sivaram, C (European Southern Observatory, 1993-08)
    Recently a new type of gravitational coupling due to a gravo-inductive force field generated by mass currents was introduced to account for constant rotation velocities at large distances from galactic cores. It is pointed ...

    Reghu, M; Subramanyam, S. V; Chatterjee, S (American Physical Society, 1991-02)
    The resistivity of polypyrrole films, from 300 to 1.3 K, doped with ClO4 ions at various concentrations to have a different number of polarons and bipolarons, can be better fitted by T-1/3 than T-1/4. The conduction process ...
  • Energy transport to the solar corona by magnetic kink waves 
    Choudhuri, A. R; Dikpati, M; Banerjee, D (American Astronomical Society, 1993-08-20)
    We show that the magnetic kink waves generated by the motions of photospheric footpoints of the coronal flux tubes can supply adequate energy for heating the quiet corona, provided there are occasional rapid motions of ...
  • Polarimetry of Comet P/Halley - Properties of dust

    Comet P/Halley was observed polarimetrically for seven nights in IHW and other continuum filters, during its pre- and postpreihelion passages. These polarimetric observations have been combined with the observations taken ...
  • Maximum acceleration and magnetic field in the early universe 
    Sivaram, C; de Sabbata, Venzo (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1991-02)
    The maximum acceleration at the Planck epoch is shown to be related to the maximum magnetic field and curvature as well as temperature in that era. Spin-torsion effects at that epoch also lead to same value.
  • Fibre spectroscopy and BV CCD photometry of the southern open cluster NGC 3114 
    Sagar, R; Sharples, Ray M (European Southern Observatory, 1991-04)
    New spectroscopic and photometric observations are presented for a sample of faint stars which extends the color-magnitude diagram of the open cluster NGC 3114 down to V = 16 mag. The distance to the cluster is estimated ...
  • CCD photometry of the distant young open cluster NGC 7510 
    Sagar, R; Griffiths, W. K (Royal Astronomical Society, 1991-06)
    CCD observations in B, V, and I passbands have been used to generate deep V, (B-V), and V,(V-I) color-magnitude diagrams for the open cluster NGC 7510. The sample consists of 592 stars reaching down to V = 21 mag. There ...
  • Dynamics of the Solar Magnetic Network. II. Heating the Magnetized Chromosphere 
    Hasan, S. S; van Ballegooijen, A. A (The American Astronomical Society, 2008-06-20)
    We consider recent observations of the chromospheric network and argue that the bright network grains observed in the Ca ii H and K lines are heated by an as-yet-unidentified quasi-steady process. We propose that the heating ...
  • Intensity oscillations and heating of the coronal X-ray bright points from Hinode/XRT 
    Kariyappa, R; Varghese, B. A (EDP Sciences, 2008-07)
    Aims. Our aim is to investigate the intensity oscillations in coronal X-ray Bright Points (XBPs). Methods. We analysed a 7 h long time sequence of the soft X-ray images obtained on April 14, 2007 with a 2 min cadence using ...
  • Zeeman line formation in solar magnetic fields. Studies with empirical probability distribution functions 
    Sampoorna, M; Nagendra, K. N; Frisch, H; Stenflo, J. O (EDP Sciences, 2008-07)
    Context. Numerical simulations of magneto-convection and analysis of solar magnetograms provide probability distribution functions (PDFs) for the magnetic field strength. Aims. In the paper, we explore the effects of these ...
  • Stellar Disruption by Supermassive Black Holes and the Quasar Radio Loudness Dichotomy 
    Gopal-Krishna; Mangalam, A; Wiita, P. J (The American Astronomical Society, 2008-06-10)
    The origin of the dichotomy of radio loudness among quasars can be explained using recent findings that the mass of the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) in extended radio-loud quasars is systematically a few times ...

    Vani, V. C; Chatterjee, S (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2008-05)
    Detection of periodic structures, hidden in random surfaces has been addressed by us for some time and the `extended matched filter' method, developed by us, has been shown to be effective in detecting the ...

  • Clustering of Galaxies by the Alpha-Effect 
    Krishan, V (Royal Astronomical Society, 1993-09-01)
    The development of large-scale flows from the stresses generated by small-scale flows in a Navier-Stokes system is studied in order to model the large-scale structure of the Universe. This process is an analogue of the ...
