    The absolute visual magnitudes of two Wolf-Rayet stars HD 151932 (WN 7) and HD 152270 (WC 7+08) have been determined from their energy distributions and monochromatic magnitudes least contaminated by emission lines taking ...
  • Formation of Spectral Lines with the Redistribution Function R1 along the line of Sight 
    Peraiah, A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1981)
    We studied the formation of spectral lines at infinity with the redistribution function R1. The radial optical depths considered are 5, 5, 10, 50 and 100. A linear law of velocity is assumed in these calculations. Profiles ...

    The design and features of 1.5m vacuum coating plant an in house facility at the Kavalur Observatory for periodic aluminizing of astronomical optics are described. A typical performance data is given.
  • Automated Microdensitometer 
    Viswanath, C (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    An interface to a Carl Zeiss microdensitometer and the HCL's micro-computer MICRO 2200 has been built to digitize, log, and process the analog variable density information on photographic plates. The automated process ...
  • Fluxvector Splitting of the Inviscid Radiation Gas Dynamic Equations 
    Peraiah, A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    We have analysed various schemes for the iterative simultaneous solution of the inviscid gas dynamic equations. We have considered the problem from the point of view of the stellar atmospheres. The difference between ...
  • Isodensitometry of Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae 
    Scaria, K. K (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    We present details of procedure on equidensitometry of globular clusters using the Sabattier technique in photography. Equidensitometry of Omega Centauri and 47 Tuc shows that both clusters become more elliptical beyond r ...
  • A Simple Digital System Drive for Small Telescopes 
    Bhattacharyya, J. C; Ramamoorthy, K. S; Chandramohan, R (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    A variable stable frequency source employing a crystal oscillator and a programmable digital divider chain is described. The system offers an ideal arrangement for controlling tracking rates of small and medium size ...
  • Rotational Effects on line Source Function 
    Peraiah, A; Raghunath, G (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    The effects of rotation are investigated on the source functions in an expanding atmosphere. We have considered a non-LTE two-level atom in an extended atmosphere. We have also made use of von Zeipel`s theorem in giving ...
  • Simultaneous Solution of Radiative Transfer Equation in the Comoving Frame and the Statistical Equilibrium Equation with Complete Redisribution 
    Peraiah, A (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, 1980)
    Complete redistribution with Voigt profile function has been employed in obtaining the simultaneous solution of line transfer and the statistical equilibrium equation for a non-LTE two level atom in an extended stellar ...
  • 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 ...
