Dust Scattering from the Taurus Molecular Cloud
Sathyanarayan, Jayant Murthy, K. Narayanankutty
We present an analysis of the diffuse ultraviolet (UV) emission near the Taurus Molecular Cloud based on observations made by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). We used a Monte…
A Hot Companion to a Blue Straggler in NGC188 as Revealed by the Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on ASTROSAT
Subramaniam Annapurni, Sindhu N., Tandon S. N. +14
We present early results from the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard the ASTROSAT observatory. We report the discovery of a hot companion associated with one of the blue…
In-orbit Performance of UVIT and First Results
S. N. Tandon, J. B. Hutchings, S. K. Ghosh +23
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 g…
The distribution and kinematics of interstellar O~{\small VI} in the Milky Way}
Rathin Sarma, Amit Pathak, Jayanta Murthy +1
We present the results of a survey of interstellar O~{\small VI} absorption in the Milky Way (MW) towards {69} stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained with the \textit{F…
Prospect for UV observations from the Moon. II. Instrumental Design of an Ultraviolet Imager LUCI
Joice Mathew, Ajin Prakash, Mayuresh Sarpotdar +6
We present a design for a near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging instrument which may be flown on a range of available platforms, including high-altitude balloons, nanosatellites, or space…
Pointing System for the Balloon-Borne Astronomical Payloads
K. Nirmal, A. G. Sreejith, Joice Mathew +5
We describe the development and implementation of a light-weight, fully autonomous 2-axis pointing and stabilization system designed for balloon-borne astronomical payloads. The sy…
