Measurement of Dust Optical Properties in Coalsack Nebula (2007)

Sujatha, N. V, Murthy, J, Shalima, P, Et Al

We have used FUSE and Voyager observations of dust-scattered starlight in the neighborhood of the Coalsack Nebula to derive the optical constants of the dust grains. The albedo is consistent with a...

TAUVEX - An Ultraviolet Imager on the Indian GSAT-4 Satellite (2003)

Murthy, J

The TAUVEX instrument consists of three imagers operating in several bands in the mid to near UV. We have proposed to fly TAUVEX as a secondary payload on the GSAT-4 mission to be launched in late...

Upper Limits on O VI Emission From Voyager Observations (2001)

Murthy, J, Henry, R. C, Shelton, R. L, Holberg, J. B

We have examined 426 Voyager fields distributed across the sky for O VI λλ1032, 1038 emission from the Galactic diffuse interstellar medium. No such emission was detected in any of our observed...

Multiwavelength observations of interstellar dust (2001)

Murthy, J

Interstellar dust is important in virtually every aspect of Galactic and extragalactic astronomy - whether one simply wants to correct for its effects or to study galactic dynamics and processes....

MSX Observations of Diffuse UV Emission in Orion (2001)

Murthy, J, Henry, R. C, Paxton, L. J, Price, S. D

We have observed intense diffuse radiation in the UV (1400 Å - 2600 Å) from three fields around M42 in Orion. Intensities of 20000 photons cm-2 sr-1 s-1 Å-1 were observed to the east and west of...
