  • Flow of Gas along a Magnetic field with Time-Dependent Geometry 
    Hasan, S. S; Venkatakrishnan, P (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    The flow of gas along a magnetic field with time dependent geometry has been studied. It is seen that the velocity of the flow in the direction of the magnetic field depends both on the magnitude of the velocity of flow ...
  • Photometry of Zeta Aurigae during the 1977 and 1979-80 Eclipses 
    Mohin, S; Raveendran, A. V; Mekkaden, M. V (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    UBV photometry of Zeta Aurigae during the 1977 and 1979-80 eclipses is presented. From an analysis of the available photometry, it is concluded that the long term intrinsic variation in the brightness of the late-type super ...
  • Type-I Solar Radio Bursts 
    Gopalswamy, N (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1986)
    A brief review of the recent work done on Type-I radio emission in the Indian Institute of Astrophysics is presented. The most plausible low frequency turbulence needed to generate the type-I bursts is shown to be ion-sound ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • Solar Convection and Oscillations 
    Chitre, S. M (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 ...
