Gravitational Waves in an Inhomogeneous Universe
Space is quite inhomogeneous at small scales. These inhomogeneities may play a significant role in governing the physical phenomena at this scale. Here we have analysed the impact of these inhomogeneities on the Gravitational Wave (GW) observables. For this analysis...
One year of CosmicVarta
CosmicVarta celebrates its first birthday today! Hurray! It was a wonderful year indeed. Today, we take a look back at our journey and briefly talk about our future plans.
Insight into the pulsar emmision mechanism using subpulse drifting: Subpulse drifting in PSR J1822−2256
Long after humans figured out that the small bright dots in the night sky were just another sun-like object, and not very long after the discovery of the neutron, in the year 1933, Baade and Zwicky theorized the existence of...
Star-forming S0 Galaxies in SDSS-MaNGA: fading spirals or rejuvenated S0s?
Galaxies are the building blocks of our universe. A comprehensive theory of how galaxies evolve with cosmic time is key to understanding how the universe turns out the way it is today. Decades of observational, theoretical and computational efforts have...
The Great Dimming of Betelgeuse: A Stellar Tipping Point?
The Great Dimming of Betelgeuse (alpha Orionis) in late 2019 puzzled astronomers across the globe. The star appeared the faintest in all its modern recorded history. The mystery mounted as it quickly regained brightness in the next few months, and...
How do astronomers understand the evolution of young stars in star clusters?
This article is based on the paper published in the Journal of Astrophysics & Astronomy. The article shows the results of our deep optical photometric observations of a young cluster NGC 1893 taken with the 3.6m Devasthal Optical Telescope. Based...
