  • Embedded star clusters in the W51 giant molecular cloud 
    Nanda Kumar, M. S; Kamath, U. S; Davis, C. J (Royal Astronomical Society, 2004-10)
    We present sub-arcsecond (0.35-0.9 arcsec), near-infrared J-, H- and K-band photometric observations of six fields along the W51 giant molecular cloud (W51 GMC). Our observations reveal four new, embedded clusters and ...
  • Relativistic coupled-cluster calculation of core ionization potentials using the normal and the semi-normal ordered ansatz 
    Sur, C; Chaudhuri, R. K (Institute of Physics, 2004-10)
    In this paper we have applied the cluster-expansion ansatz for the wave operator Ω which incorporates the orbital relaxation and correlation effects in an efficient manner. We have used both ordinary and normal ordered ...

    Vasundhara, R; Chakraborty, P (The American Astronomical Society, 2004-12)
    Investigations of the dust morphology of comet 81P/Wild 2 in the I- and R-band images obtained on 1997 May 15 from the Vainu Bappu Observatory, Kavalur, India, are presented. We model the trajectories of dust grains ejected ...

    Lambert, D. L; Kameswara Rao, N; Giridhar, S (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1990-12)
    Moderate-resolution spectra of the C2 Swan 0-1 bandhead, the Na I D lines and the K I resonance lines near 7660 A obtained at minimum light during the 1988-1989 decline of R CrB are discussed and interpreted in terms of a ...
  • Photometric distances to dark clouds: cometary globule CG 12 
    Maheswar, G; Manoj, P; Bhatt, H. C (Royal Astronomical Society, 2004-12)
    A method for determining distances to dark clouds and Bok globules based on broad-band optical and near-infrared photometry is presented. In this method, intrinsic colour indices of stars projected towards the direction ...
  • The eccentric double-lined binary BD - 1 deg 1004 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Ashoka, B. N; Lloyd, C; Pike, C. D; Stickland, D. J (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1990-12)
    A new radial velocity study has been made of the highly eccentric, early-type binary BD - 1 deg 1004 using spectra from the Kavalur Observatory. All available archival material has also been reexamined. An attempt has been ...
  • Intense Diffuse Far-Ultraviolet Emission from the Orion Nebula 
    Murthy, J; Sahnow, D. J; Henry, R. C (American Astronomical Society, 2005-01)
    We present spectra of the diffuse far-UV (900-1200 Å) emission from a region near the Orion Nebula: the first high-resolution spectra of the diffuse background radiation. These observations were made using serendipitous ...
  • Propagation and Oscillation of Neutrinos with Magnetic Moment Inside the Sun 
    Sivaram, C (International Astronomical Union, 1990)
    The VVO mechanism suggests that the existence of a neutrino magnetic moment would lead to variations of the observed solar neutrino flux with the magnetic activity of the sun. The MSW mechanism suggests neutrino oscillations ...
  • Study of Sun's "hydromagnetic" Oscillations Using Sunspot Data 
    Gokhale, M. H; Javaraiah, J; Hiremath, K. M (International Astronomical Union, 1990)
    Spherical-harmonic-fourier (SHF) analysis of sun’s ‘nominal toroidal magnetic field’, computed using sunspot data during 1874-1976, shows that sunspot activity can be considered as possibly originating in interference of ...
  • Reddening map of the Large Magellanic Cloud bar region 
    Subramaniam, A (EDP Sciences, 2005-02)
    E(V-I) reddening values for 1123 locations in the bar region of the Large Magellanic Cloud are presented. V, I photometry of red clump stars identified in the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment II catalogue of LMC ...
  • Absorption of Electromagnetic Waves in Astrophysical Plasmas 
    Gangadhara, R. T; Krishan, V (International Astronomical Union, 1990)
    We study parametric Decay Instabilities (PDI) using the kinetic description, in the homogeneous and unmagnetic plasmas. These instabilities cause anomalous absorption of the incident electromagnetic (e.m) radiations. The ...
  • Crustal structure and earthquake focal depths beneath northeastern India and southern Tibet 
    Mitra, S; Priestley, K; Bhattacharyya, A. K; Gaur, V. K (Royal Astronomical Society, 2005-01)
    We use broad-band teleseismic data recorded at eight sites along a north-south profile from Karimganj (24.84°N, 92.34°E), south of the eastern Shillong Plateau, to Bomdilla (27.27°N, 92.41°E) in the eastern Lesser Himalaya, ...
  • Kinematics of Vega-like stars: Lifetimes and temporal evolution of circumstellar dust disks 
    Manoj, P; Bhatt, H. C (EDP Sciences, 2005-01)
    We have used the velocity dispersion as an age indicator to constrain the ages of a large sample of main sequence Vega-like stars in order to study the lifetimes and temporal evolution of the dust disks around them. We use ...
  • A time-dependent multistate model for bacteriorhodopsin photocycle 
    Banyal, R. K; Hegde, G. M; Prasad, B. R; Reddy, K. P. J (Elsevier, 2005-02)
    A time-dependent theoretical model based on the rate equations for all the photochemical states of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is developed. A recursive method is adopted to solve the rate equations exactly, with an explicit ...

    Raju, P. K; Vasundhara, R (International Astronomical Union, 1990)
    The variation of theoretical line intensity ratios with electron density for Mg VI ion is presented. This study indicates that the line intensity ratios for Mg VI can be used to infer electron density for solar plasma.
