  • Tracing the outer disk of NGC 300: an ultraviolet view 
    Mondal, Chayan; Subramaniam, A; George, K (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2019-07-11)
    We present an ultra-violet (UV) study of the galaxy NGC 300 using GALEX far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) observations. We studied the nature of UV emission in the galaxy and correlated it with optical, H I and mid-infrared ...
  • Temporal variations of the solar EUV network properties

    The chromospheric network extended to the transition region as the solar EUV network disperses at the coronal level. The EUV emission lines from the transition region give information about different atmospheric heights. ...
  • Dark matter (energy) may be indistinguishable from modified gravity (MOND) 
    Sivaram, C (World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd, 2017-10)
    For Newtonian dynamics to hold over galactic scales, large amounts of dark matter (DM) are required which would dominate cosmic structures. Accounting for the strong obser- vational evidence that the universe is accelerating ...
  • Planet nine, dark matter and MOND 
    Sivaram, C; Arun, K; Kiren, O. V (Springer, 2016-07)
    Here we propose the possibility that the recently postulated Neptune-sized planet with an orbital period of 15,000 years could be a gravitationally condensed dark matter (DM) object. The observed mass of Planet Nine fits ...
