In this paper, we discuss about the physical properties of the dusty environment around the mass losing carbon rich post AGB star located at R.A. (J2000) =06 h 53m 01s and Dec (J2000) =-02o 16’ 00”, in the far infrared  IRAS maps. A cavity like structure (major diameter ∼ 103.3 pc & minor diameter ∼33.1 pc) is found to lie at R.A. (J2000)= 06 h 51 m 54.02 s and DEC (J2000) =  -01o 35’ 43”, located at a distance ∼ 6.11 kpc from the star. We studied the distribution of flux density, dust color temperature, dust mass  in the cavity. The dust color temperature is found to lie in the range 18.7 K to 20.5 K which shows the cavity is isolated and  independently evolved. Such a low offset temperature variation shows that there is symmetric outflow or symmetric distribution of density and temperature. It further suggests that our structure is bigger in size and is far away from the far infrared loops(kk loops). The cavity may be in thermally pulsating phase.  A possible explanation of the results will be discussed.BIBECHANA 90 (2018) 96

In this paper, we discuss about the physical properties of the dusty environment around the AGB star located at R.A. (J2000) = 06h 42m 02s and Dec (J2000) = 00° 53’ 00”, in the far infrared (60 and 100μm) IRAS maps. A cavity like structure (major diameter ∼ 2.5 pc & minor diameter ∼0.9 pc) is found to lie at R.A. (J2000) = 06h 41m 43.03s and DEC (J2000) = 01° 09’ 22.8”, located at a distance ∼ 405 pc from the star. By using contour map diagram, we studied the distribution of flux density, dust color temperature, dust mass and outflow mass in the cavity. The dust color temperature is found to lie in the range 21.4K to 21.9 K which shows the cavity is isolated and independently evolved. Such a low offset temperature variation shows that the star is stable and its life is long. Dust particles are less interacting and mean free path is large. The cavity may be in thermally pulsating phase. Product of dust color temperature and visual extinction is found to be less than one. A possible explanation of the results will be discussed.

In this work, we have studied the far-infrared images of the dust cavity around the White Dwarf WD 0352-049 available in Infrared Astronomical Satellite Map from Sky View Observatory. The size of the cavity is 24.48 pc × 8.10 pc. We have studied the relative infrared flux density and calculated the dust color temperature and dust mass. The temperature of the whole cavity structure lies between a maximum value 24.09 ± 0.50 K to a minimum 21.87 ± 0.61K with fluctuation of 2.22 K and an average value of 23.09 ± 1.11 K. The small fluctuation of dust color temperature suggests that the dust in cavity structure is evolving independently and less disturbed from background radiation sources. The color map shows the identical distribution of flux at 60 μm and 100 μm and the inverse distribution of dust color temperature and dust mass. There is a Gaussian-like distribution of relative flux density, dust color temperature and dust mass. The Gaussian distribution of temperature suggests that the dusts in cavity are in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The study of relative flux density and dust color temperature along the major and minor axis shows there is a sinusoidal fluctuation of flux and temperature, which might be due to the wind generated by White Dwarf located nearby the center of the cavity structure. The total dust mass of the dust is found to be 0.07 Mʘ and that of gas is 13.66 Mʘ. The Jeans mass of the structure is less than the total mass of gas in the structure, suggesting the possibility of star formation activity by gravitational collapse in the future. Also, the study of inclination angle suggests that the three-dimensional shape of the structure is uniform and regularly shaped.

In this paper, we discussed about the dusty environment of the far infrared cavity around the AGB star located at R.A. (J2000) =01h41m 01s and Dec (J2000) = 71° 04’ 00 9, lying within far infrared loop G125+09 6 in the far infrared IRAS maps. A cavity like structure (major diameter ∼2.55pc & minor diameter ∼0.77pc) is found to lie at R.A. (J2000) = 01h46m57.2s and DEC (J2000) = 71°24’57.1”, located at a distance ∼ 220pc from the star. We studied the distribution of flux density, dust color temperature, dust mass, visual extinction in the cavity. We further studied the distribution Planck function along extension and compression, distribution of dust color temperature along square of the major and minor diameters. The dust color temperature is found to lie in the range (19.7±1.25) K to (21.1±0.55)K which shows the cavity is isolated and stable. A possible explanation of the results will be discussed.

We present the binding energy, rotational constant, rotational frequency and rotational temperature of CH3CN in different basis sets using Gaussian03. A systematic search of the emission region at 115 GHz is carried out using SkyView Virtual Observatory. A region is selected and studied in the context of rotational temperature of CH3CN using ALADIN2.5 software. From the ab-initio (First principle) calculation of CH3CN in the Hartree Fock level of approximation it is found that there is a strong binding between H, C and N in CH3CN, minimum value of the binding energy being 12.79 eV in the basis set 6-311G which agrees within around 8% to the maximum value of 13.74 eV obtained in the basis set 6-31G*. The estimated value of rotational frequency in the Hartree Fock level of approximation is found to be 322.62 GHz in the basis set 6-31G* which agrees with the values of rotational frequency obtained in other basis sets within around 4%. Similarly, value of rotational temperature in the same basis set 6-31G* is found to be 7.74 K which agrees within around 4% to the corresponding values obtained in other basis sets. The investigation region is a huge (7° × 4°) structure having east to west elongated emission pattern in the CO - survey (115 GHz). We classified this region into three parts (Upper Wing, Lower Wing and Third Region) and study the variation of relative flux density in each pixel. We found that the minimum dust color temperature 8.15 K, 8.04 K and 7.99 K respectively at Upper Wing, Lower Wing and Third Region which are almost 4% differs from rotational temperature CH3CN. This implies that there is strong evidence of possibility of finding CH3CN in the investigated region. But the conformation can only be done by spectral analysis. It is found that the flux density increase from 12 μm to 25 μm and then decreases sharply on moving from 25 μm to 60 μm in the maxima of Upper Wing and Lower wing. The flux density increases but not at significant level when moving from 60 μm to 100 μm. We estimated the dust mass of the three different regions. We found that the mass of Upper Wing, Lower Wing and Third Region are 4273.50 MÈ, 4778.79 Mθ and 2026.75 Mθ respectively. The total mass of the investigated region has to obtain 11079.04 Mθ. The mass of the gas found in the investigated structure is almost 200 times the dust mass. Thus the mass of the investigated structure is found to be 2.22×106 Mθ.

<p>We present physical properties of a region in the interstellar medium where the past evolutionary remnant of pulsar evolution is observed. For this, a systematic search of dust structure in the far infrared (100 μm and 60 μm) IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) survey was performed using Sky View Observatory. Our selection criteria are as follows: (a) Cavity should be greater than 0.25 degree in diameter and (b) the cavity should have 3-fold minima in flux density. In the 100 micron infrared map, a new cavity-like isolated far infrared dust structure (size ~ 1.62 pc x 0.98 pc) is found at R.A. (J2000) 18h 33m 14.8s and Dec. (J2000) -60° 23' 24". We have studied flux density variation and temperature variation within the structure. We found that the dust color temperature varies from 22.78 K to 24.78 K, with offset of 2 K. The dust mass of each pixel of the region of interest was calculated using their dust color temperature. The excess mass in the region was found to be 1.62 x 10<sup>23</sup> Kg. The energy required to create that inhomogeneity in the structure is calculated to be 3.24 x10<sup>35</sup> J.</p><p><strong>Journal of Nepal Physical Society</strong><em><br /></em>Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2017, Page: 33-41</p>

Flux density variation of a newly discovered isolated far-infrared interstellar nebula (R.A. = 08h27m, Dec. = +25°54' (J2000)) is studied at 100 μm and 60 μm Infrared Astronomical Survey (IRAS) maps. The nebula contains two bright condensations ("nuclei") and several prominent filaments. The dust color temperature is estimated throughout the nebular region by dividing the 100 μm map by the 60 μm map and comparing the resulting flux I(100μm)/I(60μm) values at each map location with the values given for dust grain models by Dwek (1986). It is found that the dust colour temperature of the southern nucleus is 34±4 K and the temperature of its northern counterpart 32±4 K. The eastern filamentary structures are slightly cooler (20±2 K) than the western filamentary structures (26±3 K). Hence, the locations of the maximum emission i.e. the nuclei of the nebula are warmer than their filaments. It is interestingly noticed that there are no hints of star formation in the nebula, suggesting interaction with ambient matter or the presence of unknown external radiation. Possible explanations of the results will be explained.Key words: Nebula; Temperature; IRASThe Himalayan Physics Vol.1, No.1, May, 2010Page:1-3Uploaded Date: 28 July, 2011

We present physical properties of the core region of infrared loop G329-05 which is found to be located within 1o from the pulsar PSR J1627-5547.  The loop has 3-fold reduced flux density than its surroundings.  In the 100 micron infrared map, a new cavity-like isolated far infrared dust structure of core region (size ~0.750 x 0.230 ) is  found at R.A. (J2000)= 16h 27m 19.9s & Dec. (J2000) = -56035’14”. This loop is believed to be formed because of high pressure events occurred in the past. The dust color temperature of the core region is found to lie in the range 25.26 ± 0.09 K to 27.91 ± 0.09 K, whereas the value of dust color temperature increased to 36.72 ± 0.18  K for the outer region. The dust color temperature and dust mass distribution maps showed that the low temperature region has greater density as expected. The dust mass of the core region of the loop is found to be 1.67 x 1027 kg i.e. about 0.00835 Mʘ. The core region of the loop is found to be edge-on (i ˃780) whereas the larger structure is faced-on (i =00). Possible explanation of results will be presented.BIBECHANA 15 (2018) 70-76
