  • Plasma wave aided two photon decay of an electromagnetic wave in a plasma 
    Magesh Kumar, K. K; Singh, R; Krishan, V (American Institute of Physics Publishing, 2014-11)
    The presence of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma is shown to allow parametric decay of an electromagnetic wave into two electromagnetic waves, which is otherwise not allowed due to wave number mismatch. The decay ...

    Abe, M; Gopakumar, G; Das, B. P; Tatewaki, H; Mukherjee, D; Hada, M (AIP Publishing, 2015-05)
    The search for the electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) is important because it is a probe of Charge Conjugation-Parity (CP) violation. It can also shed light on new physics beyond the standard model. It is not ...

    Cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole, in particular its physical origin and evolution. According to the current understanding, the universe came into existence some 13.7 billion years ago in a Big Bang (a ...
  • Radio polarization studies of the solar corona at low frequencies 
    Sasikumar Raja, K (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, 2014-10)

  • Instrument design for the observation of the sun at near IR wavelengths: (around 1.6 µ) 
    Aritra Chakrabarty (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, 2016-07)
    The H minus ions prevalent in the sub-photospheric level are found to have minimum opacity at around 1.63 m which makes this wavelength suitable for sub-photospheric observations . Some previous observations by Foukal ...
  • High precision full stokes spectropolarimetry of the sun as a star instrument design aspects 
    Souvik Bose (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, 2016-07)
    The sun is very interesting particularly because it is very dynamic. The magnetic field plays a major role in governing dynamics of the sun. Many interesting features like sunspots, flares, prominences, and Coronal Mass ...
  • Polarized line scattering theory with applications in astrophysical radiative transfer: a historical perspective 
    Nagendra, K. N (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2019-07)
    Ivan Hubený did fundamental work in the theory of partial frequency redistribution (PFR) and radiative transfer (RT). One of the most elegant works is the “theory of generalized redistribution functions (GRFs)†for ...
  • Quantitative astronomical spectroscopy in the post Saha equation period 
    Bhattacharyya, J. C (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, 2017-07)
    Several new questions of quantitatively estimating physical conditions on astronomical bodies had opened up after formulation of Saha Ionization Equation. The article first reviews the step by step progress in ...
  • Optical and GeV flux variations in Fermi blazars 
    Stalin, C. S (Astronomical Society of India, 2015-04)
    A large fraction of γ-ray emitting blazars show correlated flux variations in the optical and γ-ray bands with little or no time lag. However, in a minority of them, uncorrelated optical and γ-ray flux variations are seen. ...
  • The search for binary black holes in Seyferts with double peaked emission lines 
    Kharb, P; Mousumi Das; Subramanian, S; Paragi, Z (Astronomical Society of India, 2015-04)
    We discuss results from very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of two Seyfert galaxies with double peaked emission lines in their SDSS optical spectra. Such AGN are potential candidates for the presence ...
