    We present the results of a detailed morphological analysis of a sample of Markarian starburst galaxies. CCD surface photometry of those galaxies was carried out based on observations made in U BV RI and H?. The morphology ...
  • The collapse of voids in a Roberston-Walker universe with nonzero spatial curvature 
    Ray, M. K; Chaudhuri, S; Banerji, S (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    We consider the model of a spherical void (or its precursor) with heat conducting perfect fluid in Region I with Maiti metric (1982) surrounded by a spherical shell filled with radiation (Region II) having Vaidya metric. ...
  • CCD imaging of Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068 
    Lokanadham, B; Babu, G. S. D; Kiron, Y. R (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    CCD observations of NGC1068 have been obtained in BVRI filters with 2.34 meter Vainu Bappu Telescope of Kavalur in India. The contours of the indices B-V, B-I and V-I of the galaxy indicate the presence of the star-forming ...
  • Coordinated TeV gamma-ray and optical polarization study of BL Lac object Mkn 501 
    Joshi, U. C; Baliyan, K. S; Ganesh, S; Deshpande, M. R; Bhattacharyya, S; Kaul, R. K; Kaul, C. L; Bhat, C. L (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    Coordinated TeV gamma-ray and optical polarization observations of the BL Lac object Mkn 501, carried out during 1997 with the TACTIC imaging Cerenkov telescope of the BARC and the 1.2 m Gurushikhar optical/IR telescope ...
  • Study of the emission line spectra and the stellar populations of starburst galaxies 
    Ravindranath, S; Prabhu, T. P (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    Based on the optical-NIR spectra, we discuss the nebular properties and stellar populations of starburst nuclei. Starbursts are found to have higher electron densities and higher excitations compared to HII nuclei. We find ...
  • Seyferts at milli-arcsec scales 
    Lal, D. V; Shastri, P; Gabuzda, D (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    We have observed a sample of Seyfert galaxies using Global Very Long Baseline Interferometry at 5 GHz. Our goal is to investigate the systematics of their nuclear radio morphology on milli-arcsecond scales. We have chosen ...
  • Fresh results from modelling the gravitationally lensed system PKS 1830-211 
    Nair, S; Garrett, M. A (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    Fresh modelling of PKS1830-211 points to a perturbation in the NE image by a lens of globular cluster scale.
  • Tidal interactions in spherical galaxies 
    Namboodiri, P. M. S (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    Numerical simulations of equal mass galaxies, moving initially on a parabolic orbit, have been performed to see how the total energy of the system changes in close and wide encounters. The results are compared with those ...
  • Study of quasar broad emission region from spectroscopy of multiple images 
    Narasimha, D; Srianand, R (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)

  • Tidally compressed molecular gas in ultraluminous and early type galaxies 
    Das, M; Jog, C. J (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    The effect of the galactic tidal field is usually considered disruptive in the literature. However, in some cases its effect can become compressive. Using the virial theorem, we have determined the minimum density for a ...

    Narasimhan, K. S. V. S; Alladin, S. M; Sastry, K. S (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    In our Paper I we had classified galaxies in increasing order of the intensity of tidal effects on the basis of transfer of energy from the motion of galaxies to the internal motions. This work has been refined by presenting ...
  • Probes of superclusters at moderate redshifts 
    Narasimha, D; Singh, K. P (Astronomical Society of India, 2000)
    Detection of superclusters at z = 0.2 - 1.0 and determination of their mass provide constraints on the theories of structure formation in the Universe. A combination of the study of hot gas observed in X-rays, and the ...
  • Limit on the average redshift of Gamma Ray Bursts from evolving galaxies
