Radial Pulsations in Polaris: A Secondary Science Application of Cherenkov Telescopes via Intensity Interferometry

Km Nitu Rai, Prasenjit Saha, Subrata Sarangi

Ground-based Cherenkov telescopes, which are typically inoperative during moonlit nights for gamma-ray observations, offer a valuable opportunity during this time for secondary sci…

Interference with (Pseudo) Thermal Light; The Hanbury Brown and Twiss Effect

Km Nitu Rai, Soumen Basak, Subrata Sarangi +1

The correlation of light from two sources leads to an interference pattern if they belong to a specific time interval known as the coherence time, denoted as . The relationship…

Simulations of astrometric planet detection in Alpha Centauri by intensity interferometry

Km Nitu Rai, Subrata Sarangi, Prasenjit Saha +1

Recent dynamical studies indicate that the possibility of an Earth-like planet around Cen A or B should be taken seriously. Such a planet, if it exists, would perturb the orbi…

Radius measurement in binary stars: simulations of intensity interferometry

Km Nitu Rai, Soumen Basak, Prasenjit Saha

Mass and radius measurements of stars are important inputs for models of stellar structure. Binary stars are of particular interest in this regard, because astrometry and spectrosc…
