Auroral NO+4.3μm emission observed from the Midcourse Space Experiment: Multiplatform observations of 9 February 1997

Spatial distribution of emission in Unidentified Infrared Bands from Midcourse Space Experiment Survey

Recently the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) has surveyed the Galactic plane in mainly four infrared bands between 6 and 25 μm. Two of these bands cover several Unidentified Infrared emission Bands (UIBs). With the aim of extracting the spatial distribution of the UIB emission on a large scale, a scheme has been developed to model the MSX data with emission in the UIBs alongwith the underlying...

Warp signatures of the Galactic disk as seen in mid infrared from Midcourse Space Experiment

The gross features in the distribution of stars as well as warm (T > ∼ 100 K) interstellar dust in the Galactic disk have been investigated using the recent mid infrared survey by Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) at 8, 12, 14 & 21 µm bands. An attempt has been made to determine the location of the Galactic mid-plane at various longitudes, using two approaches : (i) fitting exponential functions...

Spectral Properties of the Prompt X–ray emission and Afterglow from the Gamma–Ray Burst of 28 February 1997

We report high-energy spectral data of the prompt emission of GRB970228 and its X–ray afterglow. We establish that the nature of the X–ray afterglow emission is non-thermal and similar to the later portion of GRB970228. Our data can be used to discriminate different emission models of GRB afterglows. While cooling of excited compact objects can be ruled out, fireball models are constrained in t...
