Transient and Variable Ultra-luminous X-ray Sources in NGC 4552
V. Jithesh, A. S. Sreya, Riya Elza Mathew +2
We searched for transient and variable X-ray sources in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4552 using the {\it Chandra} and {\it XMM-Newton} observations from 2001-2012. We detected 14 tran…
Improving Accretion Diagnostics for Young Stellar Objects with Mid-infrared Hydrogen lines from JWST/MIRI
B Shridharan, P Manoj, Vinod Chandra Pathak +10
We present a comprehensive study of mid-infrared neutral hydrogen (H~\textsc{i}) emission lines in 79 nearby (d 200 ) young stars using JWST/MIRI. We aim to identify mid-in…
Discovery of Fullerenes in the Shell of Candidate Luminous Blue Variable WRAY 16-232
R. Arun, S. A. Prasoon, Blesson Mathew +5
We report the discovery of fullerene in the circumstellar environment of WRAY~16-232, a strong candidate luminous blue variable. Multiple pointings of archival \textit{Spitzer} IRS…
When the Wall Fell: Study of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in T Chamaeleontis using JWST
R. Arun
We investigate the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission features of T Cha, a G8-type T Tauri star that has exhibited "seesaw"-type mid-infrared continuum variability over…
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the circumstellar medium of Herbig Ae/Be stars
R. Arun, Blesson Mathew, B. Shridharan +4
We present a comprehensive mid-infrared spectroscopic survey of 124 Herbig Ae/Be stars using newly processed Spitzer/IRS spectra from the newly released CASSISjuice database. Based…
Analysis of Forbidden Neon Emission lines in HAeBe Stars using Spitzer IRS spectra
D. Akhila, Blesson Mathew, S. Nidhi +7
We analyzed high-resolution mid-infrared spectra of 78 well-known Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars using Spitzer InfraRed Spectrograph data, focusing on the detection of [Ne {\sc II}] an…
