I am at the NRAO working with the AIPS++ group for some time. You can reach me THERE if you wish. If you donot wish well that's a good decision I suspect !

Solar corona modelling at low radio frequencies. Got a lot of programs which I don't use any more for ray tracing in magnetic and scattering plasma. Want any of these please feel free.

Synthesis imaging with the MRT. Still working on it ... finally got a PhD on it otherwise I was fit for a honoris causa degree for long labor !

This is what we get: These pictures are horrendously outdated but who cares ... these were put 2 years back

The above represent a small region of the sky as observed with the MRT. This is a raw map and at a low resolution compared to the final resolution (4' x 4') which we will achieve after processing all the data that we have and are collecting during the last and next couple of years

A The above represent an attemp at Cleaning our maps. The source is Fornax-A . And I kind of estimate that the map cleaned to a dynamic range of 1:50 along the RA and DEC of the source and obviously much better than that along the diagonals. The declination axis is on the horizontal axis and the vertical axis is the RA axis. The faint horizontal lines are due to interference. For those who don't know what Fornax-A is : It is one of the closest Radio galaxies. What we are seeing as 2 sources is not the galaxy itself but the radio emission from the 2 lobes of materials (plasma) ejected from the galaxy.

That's it . This is the summary of my adult scientific life.
