  • On Heating of Solar Corona Through Magnetic Fields 
    Narain, Udit; Kumar, Mukul (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    In this article the heating of solar corona by magnetic fields, with particular emphasis to the work done by authors has been presented. It is found that the heating of active ragions by twisting of magnetic fields (Tucker, ...
  • Proposed Indian National Programme for the International Heliospheric Study 
    Bhonsle, R. V (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    "Ulysses" is an International Solar Polar Mission (ISPM) to be carried out jointly by European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA. The Ulysses spacecraft will be launched in May 1986 by means of a Space Shuttle. The primary ...
  • Ca II K Emission from the Solar Chromosphere 
    Sivaraman, K. R (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    The role of the Ca II K line as a reliable diagnostic of the chromospheric activity on the Sun is reviewed. The chromospheric structures seen in this line serve as good indicators of the photospheric magnetic structures ...
  • Optical Aspects of Solar Activity 
    Bhatnagar, A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    A review of optical observations of some solar phenomena is presented. From the photospheric observations of the birth, growth and decay of pores, spots and sunspot groups and associated velocity and magnetic field structure ...
  • Line Profiles in an Expanding Spherical Medium 
    Peraiah, A; Srinivasa Rao, M; Varghese, B. A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    We have applied the discrete space theory of radiative with the integral operator technique to calculate the spectral line profiles formed in a spherically symmetric expanding stellar atmospheres. We calculated the source ...
  • Atmospheric Extinction at Kavalur Observatory during 1980-85 
    Shylaja, B. S; Bhattacharyya, J. C (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    From a series of photoelectric scanner observations during 1980-85, the atmospheric extinction at Kavalur has been analysed. The variation of this appears to follow lamda/sup-4/ law. There is a general increase in the ...
  • 3He Rich Solar Flares 
    Ramadurai, S (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    The various observational features of the 3He rich solar flares like their characteristics and association with other phenomena are discussed. It is shown that 3He rich flares split into two distinct groups, if one plots ...
  • Solar Optical Observations from Kodaikanal and from Eclipses 
    Singh, J (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    From an analysis of a long series of Calcium K spectroheliograms taken at Kodaikanal, systematic changes in the sizes of supergranule cells have been found. The average cell size changes with the phase of solar cycle, being ...
  • Atlas of H-Alpha Synoptic Charts for Solar Cycle 19 (1955 - 1964): Carrington Solar Rotations 1355 to 1486 
    Makarov, V. I; Sivaraman, K. R (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
  • A Model of the Generation Mechanism of Type II Solar Radio Bursts 
    Thejappa, G (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    The proposed model for the generation mechanism of type II solar radio bursts is based on the fact that a small fraction of ions is reflected from the shock front and tend to evolve into a 'ring' in the downstream region ...
  • Structure and Dynamics of the Solar Wind 
    Vats, Hari Om (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    Due to high temperature and very small temperature gradient with height, the solar corona is not in hydrostatic equilibrium but is continuously expanding into the inter-planetary space. The expanding coronal plasma is known ...
  • Discretization of the equation of Radiative Transfer with Compton Scattering 
    Peraiah, A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986-05)
    We have attempted to solve the equation of radiative transfer by including Compton and inverse Compton scattering. We expanded the specific intensity by Taylor series at about v/sup1/ = v/sub0/. The resulting equation has ...
  • Relativistic effects on Radiative Transfer Equation: Order of Magnitude study 
    Peraiah, A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Banglore, 1986-05)
    We have analyzed how the high gas velocities which are observed in the objects such as the atmospheres of supergiant stars, novae, supernovae, accretion discs around high density objects (like black holes, neutron stars ...
  • Integral Operator Technique of Line Transfer 
    Peraiah, A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986-05)
    We present details of a new technique of obtaining a numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation in spherical symmetry in a polychromatic system. We employed the integral operators together with an interpolation ...
  • Infrared Photometer system for Astronomical Observations 
    Shivanandan, K; Scaria, K. K; Nair, R. M; Rajamohan, R; Sivaraman, K. R (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1987)
    An infrared photometer system has been developed for photometry of astronomical sources in the spectral band 1 to 5 microns. The characteristics of the system and preliminary engineering tests using the 1- m optical ...
  • A Program for Testing Aspheric Schmidt Corrector Plate 
    Saxena, A. K; Lancelot, J. P (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1987)
    A null test for testing aspheric Schmidt corrector plate has been described. This paper gives a detailed procedure and a computer programe for computing optimum test parameters. A typical run of the program for testing a ...
  • A D. C. Amplifier for Photoelectric Photometry 
    Raveendran, A. V; Mohin, S (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1987)
    We describe the construction and discuss the performance of a d.c. amplifier which was installed at the 34-cm telescope of Vainu Bappu Observatory in 1987 January and since then extensively used for variable star photometry.
  • A Single-Cell Photopolarimeter 
    Jain, S. K; Bhattacharyya, J. C (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1987-02)
