Development Of Raspberry Pi-based Processing Unit for UV Photon-Counting Detectors

Bharat Chandra P, Binukumar G., Shubham Janakiram +6

In ultraviolet (UV) astronomical observations, photons from the sources are very few compared to the visible or infrared (IR) wavelength ranges. Detectors operating in the UV usual…

Dust Scattered Radiation in the Galactic Poles

Jayant Murthy, Richard C. Henry, James Overduin

We have modeled the diffuse background at the Galactic Poles in the far-ultraviolet (FUV: 1536 Å) and the near-ultraviolet (NUV: 2316 Å). The background is well-fit using a single-…

Simultaneous X-ray/UV observations of ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg II X-1 with Indian space mission AstroSat

A. Vinokurov, K. Atapin, O. P. Bordoloi +11

We present the results of 8 epochs of simultaneous UV and X-ray observations of the highly variable ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) Holmberg II X-1 with AstroSat -- Indian multiwa…

Study of UV bright sources in globular cluster NGC 4590 using Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) observations

Ranjan Kumar, Ananta C. Pradhan, M. Parthasarathy +5

We have studied ultraviolet (UV) bright sources in the Galactic globular cluster (GGC) NGC 4590 using Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on-board the \mbox{\em AstroSat} satellit…

Time variations in the UV background

Jayant Murthy, Amith S. Gowtham

We have found variations in the diffuse ultraviolet background on the scale about 10 days over the 10 year life of the GALEX mission. These variations are only apparent in the near…
