Relativistic Scattering in the Funnel of Cygnus X-3
Suraj K. Chaurasia, Ranjeev Misra, Amit Pathak
Cygnus X-3 presents significant challenges to standard accretion models. Recent polarimetric observations by IXPE reveal high polarization degrees (PD) in the hard state ($\sim 23\…
Research on the Interstellar Medium and Star Formation in the Galaxy: An Indian Perspective
Bhaswati Mookerjea, Maheswar G., Kinsuk Acharyya +24
Although the star formation process has been studied for decades, many important aspects of the physics involved remain unsolved. Recent advancement of instrumentation in the infra…
Theoretical Investigation of Interstellar 3-Pyrroline: Formation, Rotational and Vibrational Spectroscopy
Anshika Pandey, Akant Vats, Satyam Srivastav +2
The recent detection of CN-functionalized aromatics partly addresses the long-standing mystery of the apparent absence of five- and six-membered rings in interstellar environments.…
A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk
Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143
Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…
