33 rd ANNUAL REPORT 2020-21 MassAbsorption Cross-section (MAC) of light to Black CarbonAerosol concentration in the atmosphere is an important parameter. The importance of using a site specific MAC value has been investigated and it is shown that otherwise, the radiative forcing in the atmosphere could have an error up to 24 percent. 263 Lectures/Talks No. Date Speaker Affiliation Title 1 27-04-2020 Suprit Singh UNB, Canada, and IIT, Delhi About processes - Natural and artificial 2 28-04-2020 Rahul Sharma Delhi University The energy spectrum of neutron star X-ray binaries 3 04-05-2020 Arpan Das AMUSE-ing supermassive black holes in nuclear star cluster 4 11-05-2020 Sunil Malik Delhi University Probing magnetic fields in high- z galaxies using rotation measure of quasars 5 12-05-2020 Shantanu Rastogi DDU Gorakhpur University Molecular astrophysics 6 18-05-2020 Parul Janagal IIT, Indore Sub-pulse drifting in pulsars 7 19-05-2020 Deepak T.
