Theoretical Validation of Potential Habitability via Analytical and Boosted Tree Methods: An Optimistic Study on Recently Discovered Exoplanets
Snehanshu Saha, Suryoday Basak, Kakoli Bora +4
Seven Earth-sized planets, TRAPPIST-1 system, were discovered in February 2017. Three of these planets are in the habitable zone (HZ) of their star, making them potentially habitab…
Planetary Nebulae with Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT): Far Ultra-violet halo around the Bow Tie nebula (NGC 40)
N. Kameswara Rao, F. Sutaria, J. Murthy +3
Context. NGC 40 is a planetary nebula with diffuse X-ray emission, suggesting an interaction of the high speed wind from WC8 central star (CS) with the nebula. It shows strong Civ…
The Horizontal Branch population of NGC 1851 as revealed by the Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT)
Annapurni Subramaniam, Snehalata Sahu, Joseph E. Postma +15
We present the UV photometry of the globular cluster NGC 1851 using images acquired with the Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard the ASTROSAT satellite. PSF-fitting photo…
Investigating the In-Flight Performance of the UVIT Payload on ASTROSAT
P. T. Rahna, Jayant Murthy, M. Safonova +3
We have studied the performance of the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope payload on AstroSat and derived a calibration of the FUV and NUV instruments on board. We find that the sensiti…
Near UV Imager with an MCP Based Photon Counting Detector
S. Ambily, Joice Mathew, Mayuresh Sarpotdar +5
We are developing a compact UV Imager using light weight components, that can be flown on a small CubeSat or a balloon platform. The system has a lens-based optics that can provide…
Development of Data Acquisition Methods for an FPGA-Based Photon Counting Detector
S. Ambily, Mayuresh Sarpotdar, Joice Mathew +5
MCP-based detectors are widely used in the ultraviolet (UV) region due to their low noise levels, high sensitivity and good spatial and temporal resolution. We have developed a com…
