I have developed extensive expertise in utilizing AstroSat's Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) for cutting-edge astrophysical research. My proficiency includes in-depth knowledge of UVIT's capabilities and data analysis techniques, particularly through the effective use of the CCDLAB data reduction pipeline, which I have mastered to handle and process UV imaging data with precision. Additionally, my experience is reflected in successfully securing observation time during multiple UVIT proposal cycles, including A11, A12, A14, and T05. These achievements underscore my ability to design and execute observational strategies that align with key scientific objectives, further contributing to advancing our understanding of the universe.
Feel free to reach out if you have any ideas on how we can use UVIT to study specific phenomena. I can assist in acquiring the data you need!
We investigate how the resolved scale properties of PAH molecules in nearby galaxies are affected by star formation. Our study focused on three galaxies, namely NGC 628, NGC 1365, and NGC 7496, which were selected based on the availability of both JWST and UVIT images. Bright PAH emission regions were identified in the JWST images, and their corresponding UV emission was estimated using the UVIT images. We quantified the star formation properties of these PAH-emitting regions using the UVIT images.
More updates are coming soon.
