. I joined NAIC staff in December 1992 via NFRA (Netherlands) and IISc/JAP (India). The topics of my current research include: . (1) Search for Neutral hydrogen in the host galaxies of AGNs at different redshifts. (2) Physical nature and spatial distribution of the ionized component of the interstellar matter. (3) Physics of compact extragalactic radio sources. I am a member of the VLBI group and the Friend of VLBI observations at the observatory. 2008 EVN sessions are here. Tapasi Ghosh .

... 2.3 Data acquisition Spectra generated by the Multibeam correlator contain the usual structure seen in spectra from other H i instruments: a bandpass spectrum which is the sum of the sky , ground and receiver temperatures multiplied by the product of the filters in the receiver chain; superimposed on this is a noise ... Note also that sources extended much beyond ,40 arcmin can be imaged poorly in HIPASS images because of the bandpass sidelobe effect described in Section 3.3. ...
