  • The 1995 Total Solar Eclipse: An Overview 
    Singh, J (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, 1997)
    As we know, we owe the discovery of solar corona to the observation of total solar eclipse. Inspite of all that has been learned, coronal studies still remain the most important aspect of scientific investigation during ...

    The region of the magnetosphere of Saturn around 14 radii and 19 radii has been of special interest since the detection of anomalous dips in the low-energy plasma ion-density in these regions by the Voyager 1, Voyager 2 ...
  • Lines Formed in Slowly Expanding Thin Spherical Shell 
    Peraiah, A; Raghunath, G; Nagendra, K. N (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    We have investigated how an optically thin spherical shell with small velocities change the profiles and equivalent widths of the lines. We have employed several types of variations in density, velocity of expansion and ...
