Venkatraman Radhakrishnan - Publications

Publications

Professor Radhakrishnan published more than 80 papers in research journals and also proceedings of different various International Conferences. He also co-edited a book of conference-proceedings, “Supernovae : their Progenitors and Remnants” (1985). He had been the Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy.

It is to be noted that Prof. Radhakrishnan’s style of doing science won him a valued place in the astronomical community. It started by raising a few penetrating questions, which were analysed in informal but deep discussion, short of formalism but full of physical insights. By his choice, his name rarely appeared in the final publication. His often unconventional views on other matters relating to the pursuit of science, especially radioastronomy, were expressed to his colleagues but rarely published.
