  • Additional calibration of the ultraviolet imaging telescope on board AstroSat 
    Tandon, S. N; Postma, J; Joseph, P; Devaraj, A; Subramaniam, A; Subramaniam, I. V; George, K; Ghosh, S. K; Girish, V; Hutchings, J. B; Kamath, P. U; Kathiravan, S; Kumar, A; Lancelo, J. P; Leahy, D; Mahesh, P. K; Mohan, R; Nagabhushana, S; Pati, A. K; Kameswara Rao, N; Sankarasubramanian, K; Sriram, S; Stalin, C. S (IOP Publishing, 2020-04)
    Results of the initial calibration of the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) were reported earlier by Tandon et al. The results reported earlier were based on the ground calibration as well as the first observations in ...
  • Comparing the inner and outer star-forming complexes in the nearby spiral galaxies NGC 628, NGC 5457, and NGC 6946 using UVIT observations 
    Yadav, Jyoti; Mousumi Das; Patra, Narendra Nath; Dwarakanath, K. S; Rahna, P. T; McGaugh, S. S; Schomber, James; Murthy, J (IOP Publishing, 2021-06-10)
    We present a far-UV (FUV) study of the star-forming complexes (SFCs) in three nearby galaxies using the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope. The galaxies are close to face-on and show significant outer disk star formation. Two ...
  • GlobULeS. IV. UVIT/AstroSat Detection of Extremely Low Mass White Dwarf Companions to Blue Straggler Stars in NGC 362 
    Dattatrey, Arvind K; Yadav, R. K. S; Sharmila Rani; Subramaniam, A; Singh, Gaurav; Sahu, Snehalata; Singh, Ravi S (American Astronomical Society, 2023-02-01)
    We report the discovery of extremely low mass white dwarfs (ELM WDs) as a companion of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 362 using images from AstroSatʼs Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT). ...
  • In-orbit performance of UVIT and first results 
    Tandon, S. N; Hutchings, J. B; Ghosh, S. K; Subramaniam, A; George, K|; Girish, V; Kamath, P. U; Kathiravan, S; Kumar, A; Lancelot, J.P; Mahesh, P. K; Mohan, Rekhesh; Murthy, J; Nagabhushana, S; Pati, A. K; Postma, J; Kameswara Rao, N; Sankarasubramanian, K; Sreekumar, P; Sriram, S; Stalin, C. S; Sutaria, F. K; Sreedhar, Yuvraj Harsha; Barve, Indrajit V; Mondal, Chayan; Snehalata Sahu (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2017-06)
    The performance of the ultraviolet telescope (UVIT) on-board AstroSat is reported. The performance in orbit is also compared with estimates made from the calibrations done on the ground. The sensitivity is found to be ...
  • MG II emission of Pop. 2 long-period Cepheids 
    Parthasarathy, M; Parsons, S. B (1984-12)
    The Population II Cepheid pulsational variables AL Vir (P = 10.3 days) and W Vir (P = 17.3 days) were observed with IUE at two phases each. Only low-dispersion mid-UV exposures were feasible, but were sufficient to show a ...
  • The near ultraviolet transient surveyor (NUTS): An ultraviolet telescope to observe variable sources 
    Ambily, S; Sarpotda, Mayuresh; Mathew, Joice; Binukumar, G; Sreejith, A. G; Nirmal, K; Murthy, J; Safonova, M; Mohan, Rekhesh; Aggarval, Vinod Kumar; Nagabhushanam, S; Jeeragal, Sachin (Springer, 2022-08)
    Observing the ultraviolet (UV) sky for time-varyiable phenomena is one of the many exciting science goals that can be achieved by a relatively small aperture telescope in space. The Near Ultraviolet Transient Surveyor ...
  • Tracing young star-forming clumps in the nearby flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 7793 with UVIT imaging 
    Mondal, Chayan; Subramaniam, A; George, Koshy; Postma, Joseph E; Subramanian, S; Barway, Sudhanshu (IOP Publishing, 2021-03-10)
    Star formation in galaxies is a hierarchical process with a wide range of scales, from smaller clusters to larger stellar complexes. Here, we present an ultra-violet imaging study of the nearby flocculent spiral galaxy NGC ...
  • Ultraviolet observations of the hydrogen-deficient variable star MV Sagittarii 
    Kameswara Rao, N; Nandy, K (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1982)
    IUE observations of the hydrogen-deficient irregular variable star MV Sgr obtained in June-October 1980 and November 1979 are discussed. The observations reveal a prominent 2200 A absorption feature. A value of E(B - V) = ...
  • UOCS. IV. discovery of diverse hot companions to blue stragglers in the old open cluster King 2 
    Jadhav, Vikrant V; Pandey, Sindhu; Subramaniam, A; Sagar, R (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2021-10)
    King 2, one of the oldest clusters in the Milky Way, with an age of ∼6 Gyr and distance of ∼5700 pc, has been observed with UVIT payload on the AstroSat. With membership information derived from Gaia EDR3, the cluster is ...
