Planetary Nebulae with UVIT II: Revelations from FUV vision of Butterfly Nebula NGC 6302
N. Kameswara Rao, O. De Marco, S. Krishna +4
The high excitation planetary nebula, NGC 6302, has been imaged in two far-ultraviolet (FUV) filters, F169M (Sapphire; λ: 1608 à ) and F172M (Silica; λ: 1…
In orbit performance of UVIT over the 5 years
S. K. Ghosh, P. Joseph, A. Kumar +21
Over the last 5 years, UVIT has completed observations of more than 500 proposals with ~ 800 unique pointings. In addition, regular planned monitoring observations have been made a…
Dissecting star-formation in the "Atoms-for-Peace" galaxy: Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope observations of the post-merger galaxy NGC7252
Koshy George, P. Joseph, P. Côté +9
The tidal tails of post-merger galaxies exhibit ongoing star formation far from their disks. The study of such systems can be useful for our understanding of gas condensation in di…
Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope view of ram-pressure stripping in action: Star formation in the stripped gas of the GASP jellyfish galaxy JO201 in Abell 85
Koshy George, B. M. Poggianti, M. Gullieuszik +16
Jellyfish are cluster galaxies that experience strong ram-pressure effects that strip their gas. Their H images reveal ionized gas tails up to 100 kpc, which could be hosting o…
Additional Calibration of the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope on board AstroSat
S. N. Tandon, J. Postma, P. Joseph +20
Results of the initial calibration of the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) were reported earlier by Tandon et al. (2017). The results reported earlier were based on the ground…
An Automated Pipeline for Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT)
S. K. Ghosh, S. N. Tandon, S. K. Singh +10
We describe a versatile pipeline for processing the data collected by the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on board Indian Multi-wavelength astronomical satellite AstroSat.The…
