    Gopalswamy, N; Thejappa, G; Sastry, Ch. V (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1984)
    The Solar decametric radio emission consists of a variety of fine structures. This reflects the complexity of the corona at this level. Two observations, viz. absorption bursts and short duration narrow band bursts are ...
  • Solar Dynamo Problem 
    Gokhale, M. H (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Banglore, 1984)
    The origin of solar magnetic field and the flux tube nature of this field on the smallest observed scales are two key problems in solar magnetohydrodynamics. Despite the sucess of kinematical models based on the turbulent ...
  • Observations of the Evershed effect - Past and Present 
    Sivaraman, K. R (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1984)
  • A System for Recording Phase Path Variations of Ionospheric Reflections 
    Sastri, J. H; Ramesh, K. B; Ramamoorthy, K. S (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1985-11)
    An experimental set-up developed for continuous recording of the phase path variations of reflections at normal incidence from discrete regions of the terrestrial ionosphere is described. Salient features of the system ...
  • Broad Band Photometry of the Solar Corona of 1983, June 11 
    Sivaraman, K. R; Singh, J; Kapoor, R. C; Kariyappa, R (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1985-11)
    The solar corona was photographed at an effective wavelength of 6300A during the total eclipse of 1983, June 11 at Indonesia. From the isophotes of the corona, the intensity distributions along the equator, poles, streamers ...
  • P Cygni type profiles 
    Peraiah, A; Srinivasa Rao, M (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1985-11)
    We have presented a series of P Cygni type profiles of special lines computed by employing different velocity laws of expansion in a spherically atmosphere. A comparison has been made with those of Beals classification. ...
  • A Computer Controlled Microdensitometer 
    Ananth, A. V (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1985-11)
    The paper describes an interface as well as appliaction program developed for logging of digital data from a Carl Zeiss Microdensitometer on the TDC-316 Computer. This has been developed to meet certain requirements of ...
  • A Survey of Red Stars in the Direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud. III. Some Regions North of Bar 
    Bappu, M. K. V; Parthasarathy, M; Scaria, K. K (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1985-11)
    We have continued the survey for red stars in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud using the technique of ultra-low dispersion spectroscopy. In this paper we list 310 red stars located north of L M C bar. Finding ...
  • A Fast Optical Pulse Counting system for Crab Pulsar 
    Santhanam, P; Bhattacharyya, J. C (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1985-11)
    A sub millisecond resolution counting system for recording shapes of short periodic pulses is described. Results obtained in recording the shape of optical pulses from Crab pulsar are given here. The flexibility of the ...
  • High Resolution Observations of Solar Radio and X-Ray Bursts and their Imterpretation 
    Degaonkar, S. S (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    High resolution observations in the radio range from the ground and X-rays from satellites during the past few years have provided new insights into the nature of emission processes and energies of solar eruptions. It is ...
  • Solar Convection and Oscillations 
    Chitre, S. M (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    A wide variety of gravity and acoustic wave motions have been detected at the surface of the Sun as Doppler shifts of spectral lines. These velocity field provide a valuable probe for studying the internal solar structure ...
  • Search for Mechanisms of Solar Magnetism 
    Gokhale, M. H (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    Study of 'Solar magnetism' (totality of solar magnetic phenomena on idfferent scales) and its 'mechanisms' (physical processes responsible for the phenomena) is obviously essential for the advancement of solar and ...
  • Coronal Loops 
    Krishan, V (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    The statistical treatment of the magnetohydrodynamically turbulent plasma is used to study the steady state configuration of the coronal loops. The stability of the plasma system is defined in terms of certain invariants ...
  • Radio Emission From The Quiet Sun and Active Regions at Decametric Wavelengths 
    Sastry, Ch. V (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    The Continuum emission from the Quiet Sun and active regions is the radiation from the solar atmosphere when there is no transient burst activity. At decametric wavelengths this radiation originates in the outer corona. A ...
  • Type-I Solar Radio Bursts 
    Gopalswamy, N (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
