Abstract:

Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are relativistic cosmological beacons of transient high energy radiation whose afterglows span the electromagnetic spectrum. Theoretical expectations of correlated neutrino emission position GRBs at an astrophysical nexus for a metamorphosis in our understanding of the Cosmos. This new dawn in the era of experimental (particle) astrophysics and cosmology is afforded by current facilities enabling the novel astronomy of high energy neutrinos, in concert with unprecedented electromagnetic coverage. In that regard, GRBs represent a compelling scientific theme that may faci

Abstract:

AbstractNuclear astrophysics is a relatively young science; it is about half a century old. It is a multidisciplinary subject, since it combines nuclear physics with astrophysics and observations in astronomy. It also addresses fundamental issues in astrobiology through the formation of elements, in particular those required for a carbon-based life. In this paper, a rapid overview of nucleosynthesis is given, mainly from the point of view of nuclear physics. A short historical introduction is followed by the definition of the relevant nuclear parameters, such as nuclear reaction cross sections

Modern astronomy started in India when an astronomical observatory was founded in Madras as early as 1786 by the East India Company and to which the Indian Institute of Astrophysics traces its origin.

Since then many more research centers in astronomy have been established.

Evidence of this is that Nigeria’s expert committee on space policy recommended

In the two centuries since the discovery of δ Cephei and η Aquilae, the study of Cepheids, and of pulsating stars in general, has become a very important field in astronomy. The usefulness of Cepheids, both as distance indicators and as test objects for stellar astrophysics, has been amply demonstrated, and if one just looks at the flood of papers on Cepheids that appears each year, it is clear that the subject is not only old and respectable, but also still very much alive. This twohundredth anniversary is therefore an appropriate occasion to evaluate what we have learnt about Cepheids, and w

Abstract Arbitrariness in the zeropoint of bolometric corrections is a paradigm that is nearly a century old and leads to two more paradigms. “Bolometric corrections must always be negative,” and “the bolometric magnitude of a star ought to be brighter than its V magnitude”.

Abstract:

AbstractWe combine results from interferometry, asteroseismology and spectroscopic analyses to determine accurate fundamental parameters (mass, radius and effective temperature) of 10 bright solar-type stars covering the H-R diagram from spectral type F5 to K1. Using “direct” techniques that are only weakly model-dependent we determine the mass, radius and effective temperature. We demonstrate that model-dependent or “indirect” methods can be reliably used even for relatively faint single stars for which direct methods are not applicable. This is important for the characterization of the targe

In this autobiographical account, I first describe my family, then childhood and education in India. During 1953–55, I worked in the new field of radio astronomy at the Division of Radiophysics of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Australia. During 1956–57, I worked at the Radio Astronomy Station of Harvard University at Fort Davis, Texas, where I made observations of solar radio bursts at decimeter wavelengths. I then joined Stanford University as a graduate student in 1957. I contributed to the successful operation of the Stanford Cross Antenna and then used

Abstract:

The luminosity function (LF) is one of the most fundamental quantities to be observed in Astronomy. It is determined by the combined effects of the various physical phenomena that drive galaxy formation and evolution, therefore it is a very useful tool to constrain cosmological models.

Abstract:

The reviewed book deals with the scattering and absorption of light by small particles as well as with the radiative transfer process. These phenomena are fundamental to the study of disperse systems of various natures. That is why the results obtained are important in a very wide range of applications in optics of atmosphere and ocean, cell biology, colloidal chemistry, astrophysics, and astronomy. The well-thought-out structure of the text, happy choice of topics, precise definitions introduced preceding every consideration, and numerous useful tables make it possible to recommend the book f

Abstract:

AbstractWe study observed correlations between supermassive black hole (BHs) and the properties of their host galaxies, and show that the observations define a BH “fundamental plane” (BHFP), of the form $\mbh\propto\sigma^{3.0\pm0.3}\,\re^{0.43\pm0.19}$ or $\mbh\propto\mstar^{0.54\pm0.17}\,\sigma^{2.2\pm0.5}$, analogous to the FP of elliptical galaxies. The BHFP is preferred over a simple relation between MBH and any of σ, M*, Mdyn, or Re alone at > 3 σ (99.9%) significance. The existence of this BHFP has important implications for the formation of supermassive BHs and the masses of the ver

AbstractDetermining and understanding the abundances seen in red-giant stars has taken a central role in our understanding of many branches of modern astrophysics. Activity in the area continues apace, both in terms of the fundamental physics of the stellar nucleosynthesis as well as its implications for wider fields. A major role of the Working Group has been to facilitate meetings where the fundamental role of these stars can be further understood and exploited by other researchers.

AbstractGalileo's stunning discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter forced the over throw of the Earth-centered cosmology that had dominated astronomy for centuries. Such a fundamental transformation of the Western World's view of its importance in the cosmos could be expected to produce some humility in society. However, the deep desire for our uniqueness continues to struggle with the astronomical evidence.

AbstractMuch of our knowledge regarding the ages of stars derives from our understanding of the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram. The diagram is typically dominated by hydrogen burning main-sequence stars, which historically, have been used to establish our most fundamental knowledge of stellar ages and evolution. In this brief article, I highlight how deep ground and space based imaging can uncover the stellar remnants of these hydrogen burning stars, white dwarfs. We have followed up our initial discovery of several large white dwarf populations in nearby star clusters with multiobject spectrogra

AbstractThe capture and disruption of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs), and the formation and coalescence of binaries, are inevitable consequences of the presence of SMBHs at the cores of galaxies. Pairs of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and binary SMBHs are important stages in the evolution of galaxy mergers, and an intense search for these systems is currently ongoing. In the early and advanced stages of galaxy merging, observations of the triggering of accretion onto one or both BHs inform us about feedback processes and BH growth.

AbstractThe need for accurate photometric redshifts estimation is a topic that has fundamental importance in Astronomy, due to the necessity of efficiently obtaining redshift information without the need of spectroscopic analysis. We propose a method for determining accurate multi-modal photo-z probability density functions (PDFs) using Mixture Density Networks (MDN) and Deep Convolutional Networks (DCN). A comparison with a Random Forest (RF) is performed.
