  • Ejection of quasars from galaxies and the variable mass hypothesis 
    Das, P. K (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    The present work investigates the dynamics of ejection of quasars from galaxies in the Variable Mass Hypothesis (VMH), originally discussed by Narlikar & Das to provide a theoretical interpretation of the observed ...

    Stalin, C. S; Gopal-Krishna; Sagar, R; Wiita, P. J (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    In order to address a currently much debated issue, we are carrying out a systematic search for intra-night optical micro-variability in major classes of powerful (M'II ~ -23.0 mag) active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Our ...

  • Radio Studies of young core collapse supernovae 
    Chandra, P; Ray, A; Bhatnagar, S (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    Multi-frequency observations of two radio bright SNe (SN1993J, SN1979C) carried out over a year with GMRT are presented. Their radio light curves trace the evolution of the mass loss in the stellar wind before the pre-supernova ...

    Anupama, G. C; Sahu, D. K (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
  • A GMRT H I imaging survey of the ERIDANUS group of galaxies 
    Omar, A; Dwarakanath, K. S; Anantharamaiah, K. R (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    This project aims to image a subset of galaxies in the nearby Eridanus group in H I emission and in radio continuum using the GMRl'. The typical resolution of H I images will be ",1 kpc with a 30" sensitivity to H I ...
  • GMRT detection of H I absorption in the high-redshift red quasar 3C 190 
    Ishwara-Chandra, C. H; Anantharamaiah, K. R; Dwarakanath, K. S (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    We report the GMRT detection of H I absorption in the high_ redshlft red quasar 30 190 at a redshift of 1.1946. The most interesting result is that the peak of the H I absorption is blueshifted by I'W 250 kms-1 with respect ...
  • Observations of Associated H I Absorption in Radio Galaxies and Quasars using GMRT 
    Swarup, G; Sarkar, A (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    We describe observations and preliminary results of absorption by cold hydrogen gas (H I) associated with six radio galaxies and quasars (Table 1) which may provide valuable information about their host galaxies and ...
  • Search for molecules in cool cosmic objects 
    Chandra, S (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
  • Gravitational Wave Astronomy:Probing Physics and Unravelling Astrophysics 
    Iyer, B. R (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    Kilometer scale Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Detectors like LIGO (vntGO) are expected to go online in 2002 (2003). Space interferometers like LISA are scheduled for 2011. In this talk the possible science payoffs ...
  • Gravitational wave astronomy: Recent advances 
    Dhurandhar, S. V (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    Several groundbased gravitational wave (GW) laser interferometric projects have completed construction and are currently involved in conducting engineering runs. The spacebased NASA-ESA mission, LISA is expected to be ...
  • Time delay in gravitational lens systems and cosmological parameters 
    Narasimha, D (Astronomical Society of India, 2002-09)
    The time delay between the multiple images in gravitational lens systems is affected by large scale mass distribution in the lens, even though it might not have observable effects on the macro images. Inhomogeneity at ...
  • Low resolution spectroscopy of ISOGAL sources: Search for early-type stars with infrared excess 
    Schultheis, M; Parthasarathy, M; Omont, A; Cohen, M; Ganesh, S; Sevre, F; Simon, G (E D P Sciences, 2002-05)
    An analysis of low resolution spectra and infrared data of 29 ISOGAL-DENIS sources with mid-IR excess is presented. Eight ISOGAL sources from our sample with 7-15 mu m excesses are found to be B and A-type stars, some of ...
  • New constants for SampsonLieske theory of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter from mutual occultation data 
    Vasundhara, R; Arlot, J. E; Descamps, P (International Astronomical Union, 1996)
    New constants for sampson-Lieske theory of the Galilean satellites have been derived using 6360 individual photographic positions (1891-1990) and 438 pseudo astrometric positions from mutual occulations during 1973,1979,1985 ...

    Nagendra, K. N; Leung, C. M (Royal Astronomical Society, 1996-08)
    Radiation transport models are constructed for the dust shells of the hydrogen deficient supergiant star R Coronae Borealis (R CrB). IRAS observations of R CrB are used as constraints in selecting the model parameters. ...

    The morphological features of CMDs of Be 69 are better understood in terms of convective overshooting.The Comparison of CMDs with the convective overshoot models (Bertelli et al. 1994)produces a good fit for metallicity ...
  • Primordial Flares, Flux Tubes, and Gamma-ray Bursts 
    Hiremath, K. M (International Astronomical Union, 2000)
    Given the prevailing physical conditions in the cosmic environment, the similarity of solar transients and cosmic gamma-ray bursts suggests that the most promising energy source for the latter may be primordial flares, ...
  • Internal Rotation of AB Doradus 
    Hiremath, K. M (International Astronomical Union, 2000)
    Using Chandrasekhar's MHD equations, we solve for the steady part of the internal rotation of AB Doradus. We estimate the size of the convective envelope to be ~40% of the radius and the rotation velocity at the base to ...
