Pulsar Radio Emission Altitude from Curvature Radiation

R. T. Gangadhara

We assume that the relativistic sources moving along the dipolar magnetic field lines emit curvature radiation. The beamed emission occurs in the direction of tangents to the field…

Effects of Dust Scattering in Expanding Spherical Nebulae

M. Srinivasa Rao, Sujan Sengupta

The mean intensity of planetary nebulae with an expanding atmosphere is modeled by considering dusty and dust-free atmospheres. The bulk matter density is determined from the adopt…

Centrifugal Acceleration in Pulsar Magnetosphere

R. M. C. Thomas, R. T. Gangadhara

We present a relativistic model of pulsar radio emission by plasma accelerated along the rotating magnetic field lines projected on to a 2D plane perpendicular to the rotation axis…

A High-resolution Spectrum of the R CrB Star V2552 Ophiuchi

N. Kameswara Rao, David L. Lambert

Photometry and low-resolution spectroscopy have added V2552 Oph to the rare class of R Coronae Borealis variables. We confirm this classification of V2552 Oph through a comparison…

HD 34700: A new T Tauri double-lined spectroscopic binary

A. Arellano Ferro, Sunetra Giridhar

We find the star HD 34700 to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary. We also identify it as a weak-line T Tauri object The spectra of both components are very similar and both show…

Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays and Prompt TeV Gamma Rays from Gamma Ray Bursts

Pijushpani Bhattacharjee, Nayantara Gupta

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) have been proposed as one {\it possible} class of sources of the Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) events observed up to energies $\gsim10^{20}\ev$. The s…

Optical afterglow of the not so dark GRB 021211

S. B. Pandey, G. C. Anupama, R. Sagar +5

We determine Johnson and Cousins photometric CCD magnitudes for the afterglow of GRB 021211 during the first night after the GRB trigger. The afterglow was very faint a…

Magnetic Field Geometry in "Red" and "Blue" BL Lacs

P. Kharb, D. C. Gabuzda, P. Shastri

We compare the systematics of the magnetic field geometry in the "red" low-energy peaked BL Lacs (LBLs) and "blue" high-energy peaked BL Lacs (HBLs) using VLBI polarimetric images.…

Pc-scale study of Radio galaxies & BL Lacs

P. Kharb, P. Shastri, D. C. Gabuzda

We study two aspects of the differences between Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) of the two Fanaroff-Riley types in order to investigate the causes of the F-R divide. We (a) contrast t…
