  • Chanu, Athokpam Langlen; Amrutha, S; Pravabati, C; Park, C (American Astronomical Society, 2026-05-20)
    As statistical systems, galaxies exhibit a rich interplay between organized structure and stochastic fluctuations across a broad range of spatial scales. This duality motivates the need for quantitative frameworks capable ...

    Tidal disruption events are exotic astrophysical phenomena where matter from a star or the interstellar medium is captured by a supermassive black hole. The process liberates enormous energy, within a few months to a year ...

    Young star-forming clumps (SFCs) emit strongly in the ultraviolet (UV), making UV imaging ideal for detecting them. The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on board AstroSat, with 1.5 resolution, has enabled the ...

    The final equilibrium stage of stellar evolution can result in either a black hole or a compact object, such as a white dwarf or neutron star. In general relativity, both stationary black holes and stationary stellar c ...

    Neutral atomic hydrogen (H i) reservoirs typically extend far beyond the inner star-forming regions of galaxies, and global H i measurements, which mix these distinct environments, limit our understanding of the gas–star ...

    Blazars, the jet-dominated class of active galactic nuclei comprising flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs), are now increasingly identified as potential sources of high-energy neutrinos. ...

    The ultraviolet (UV) spectral domain occupies a unique position in stellar astrophysics, serving as the bridge between the thermal continuum of photospheres and the high-energy, non-thermal processes of stellar coronae and ...
  • Pandey, Nilesh; Kamath, U. S (Springer Nature, 2026-06)
    We use various analytical techniques to study Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in an area of approximately 10'×10' in the IRAS 18456-0223 star-forming region. We use archival optical (Gaia DR3) and infrared (2MASS, UKIDSS, ...
