  • An Interpretation of the Differences in the Solar Differential Rotation during Even and Odd Sunspot Cycles 
    Javaraiah, J; Bertello, L; Ulrich, R. K (The American Astronomical Society, 2005-06)
    Using the data on sunspot groups during the period 1879-2004, we have found that the solar equatorial rotation rate during the odd-numbered sunspot cycles is well correlated with the equatorial rotation rate of the preceding ...

  • Adaptive optics and its applications 
    Mohan, D; Mishra, S. K; Saha, S. K (National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources, 2005-06)
    The adaptive optics (AO) system combines technologies that enable corrections in real time for the deleterious effects of the atmosphere allowing terrestrial telescopes to achieve their near diffraction-limit. Such a system ...
  • Polarization of L Dwarfs by Dust Scattering 
    Sengupta, S; Kwok, S (The American Astronomical Society, 2005-06)
    The degree of polarization in L dwarfs of spectral types L0-L6 resulting from dust scattering in a rotation-induced oblate photosphere is calculated. Assuming that forsterite is the main condensate, we derive the atmospheric ...

    We present meter-wavelength observations of the solar corona close to the onset of the ``halo'' coronal mass ejection (CME) of 1998 January 21 and estimate the change in electron density with time through a reproduction ...

    Javaraiah, J; Gokhale, M. H (Astronomical Society of India, 1998)
    For sunspot groups occuring in latitude bin 10 degree - 20 degree and living 10-12 days, we find that the mean variation, ω(t) of the rotation frequency with age, has the same trend as the radial variation, Ω(r), of the ...
