A Model of Stellar Radiation Field in the UV

I will talk about the model of stellar radiation field which we have created to predict the Interstellar radiation Field (ISRF) in the UV at any point in space within a few hundred parsecs of the Sun. I will also go through the steps that we have followed during the work.

UV flashes from planetary collisions

Recently many jovian-mass planets have been detected around several nearby stars. One could expect the existence of more planets and planetisimals in these systems. Especially during the process of formation, the inter-planetary and star-planetary collisions could occur. Calculations show that at initial stages of these collisions the UV flushes are produced. The possibilities of detection will be discussed (this talk will be continued)

TAUVEX stray-light modeling

TAUVEX observations will be affected by the stray-light, mainly from the solar panels of GSAT. I will discuss modeling and analysis of this stray-light using the software `Radiance'.

The near-UV pulse profile and spectrum of the pulsar PSR B0656+14

I shall talk about the paper "The near-UV pulse profile and spectrum of the pulsar PSR B0656+14" by Yu. A. Shibhanov et al. (2005, Astron. Astrop., v440, p663). In the beginning, I shall give a good introduction to pulsars and their emission properties. Then, I move on to talk about the UV pulsar profiles.

Tauvex Data Quick Look/Monitoring software: thoughts and dreams

The data from Tauvex/GSAT4 will be recieved at MCF/Hassan, from where the scientific part and the relevent parts of satellite telemetry will be archived on a server outside the ISRO network. An existing ISDN link would be used to transfer selected the data from that machine to IIA (whole dataset would arrive on DVDs). In this talk, I shall discuss the preliminary ideas on a quick-look and monitoring software.

Introduction to the data pipeline and demonstration of the pipeline-continued

This talk will introduce the audience to the Data Pipeline Software. In the beginning I will introduce and explain the data format for the pipeline. The various steps in running Data Pipeline will be discussed and, hopefully, the running pipeline with the simulation data will be demostrated.
