| I work on supernovae and Gamma Ray Bursts. My primary interest is to study the circumstellar interaction of young extragalactic supernovae with inputs from radio and X-ray wave bands. I have used GMRT , VLA, ChandraXO and XMM-Newton telescopes for such studies. Observations of young supernovae in these wave bands unravel the aspects of circumstellar interaction such as the mass loss rate of the progenitor star, structure of the outer region of the supernova etc. My another major research interest is in Gamma Ray Bursts. I am involved in the NRAO-GRB program of Caltech and NRAO. |
