The Formation and Evolution of Bars, and Its Impact on Galaxy Dynamics
In this thesis we have studied bar formation and evolution using N-body simulations. We have focused on the effect of bulge mass and concentration on bar formation and evolution, and derived a new bar formation criterion. ... -
Analytical Formalism to Study the 21 cm Signal from Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization
The epoch of Cosmic Dawn and Reionization is one of the most important time periods of the universe when first sources of radiation like stars and galaxies were formed, and they changed the properties of their surrounding ... -
Thermal and Non-thermal Processes in Young Star clusters
Massive stars are energetic sources of radiation and stellar wind. They are mostly born together in dense cold clouds in the interstellar medium (ISM). Regions in the ISM that are densely populated by stars are known as ... -
Spectro-temporal signatures of accretion flows around Galactic Black Holes
A system of two stars in which one is a black hole (BH) is referred to as a black hole binary (BHB). In a BHB, it is possible to have mass transfer from the secondary star (companion star) to the primary black hole. ... -
Numerical studies of shock oscillations and MRI turbulence in accretion
In this thesis, we study two different aspects of accretion flows- (i) quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) seen in the light curves of X-ray binaries as a possible consequence of shock oscillations, (ii) global 3D ideal ... -
Morphology and topology of cosmological fields during the Epoch of Reionization
In this thesis we have introduced a real space morphological tool, Contour Minkowski tensor (CMT) to analyse the 21cm brightness temperature field from EoR. We showed that the size and shape information of structures ... -
Observational study of Core-Collapse Supernovae
The advent of dedicated surveys for studying transient events has invoked a great interest in the study of supernovae (SNe). The rate of discovery of SNe has hence gone up ten-fold relinquishing their diversity. SNe not ... -
Understanding Multi-Wavelength Signatures of Galactic Outflows Through 3-D Simulations
Evolution of galaxies is a phenomenon that affects the formation and composition of galaxies, and the intergalactic medium. It is mediated by processes that establish a symbiotic relationship between a galaxy and the ...
