Generative AI for image reconstruction in Intensity Interferometry: a first attempt
Km Nitu Rai, Yuri van der Burg, Soumen Basak +2
In the last few years, Intensity Interferometry (II) has made significant strides in achieving high-precision resolution of stellar objects at optical wavelengths. Despite these ad…
Observations of Binary Stars with the 1.3-m Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope Using Speckle Interferometry: An Attempt
Km Nitu Rai, Arjun Dawn, Neelam Panwar +3
We present a feasibility study exploring the implementation of optical interferometry and speckle techniques with the 1.3-m Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope (DFOT) at ARIES, which…
Stellar Multiplicity via Speckle Interferometry with the 3.6 m Devasthal Optical Telescope
Km Nitu Rai, Neelam Panwar, Jeewan C Pandey +3
Conventional ground-based optical telescopes, even those with large apertures, primarily observe stars, close binaries, and multiple systems as unresolved point sources through pho…
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, although typically inoperative during moonlit nights for gamma-ray observations, offer a valuable opportunity for secondary scientific applicatio…
