This study confirms a pair of X-ray cavities at projected distances of about 10.30 and 20.80 kpc, respectively, on the NW and SE of the X-ray peak. GMRT L band (1.4 GHz) data revealed a bright radio source associated with the core of this cluster hosting multiple jet-like emissions. The spatial association of the X-ray cavities with the inner pair of radio jets confirms their origin due to AGN outbursts. The 1.4 GHz radio power (7.4 pm 0.8 times 10^{39}) erg s(^{-1}) is correlated with the mechanical power stored in the X-ray cavities (({sim }7.90times 10^{44}) erg s(^{-1})), implying that the power injected by radio jets in the ICM is sufficient enough to offset the radiative losses. The X-shaped morphology of diffuse radio emission seems to be comprised of two pairs of orthogonal radio jets, likely formed due to a spin-flip of jets due to the merger of two systems. The X-ray surface brightness analysis of the ICM in its environment revealed two non-uniform, extended spiral-like emission structures on either side of the core, pointing towards gas sloshing due to a minor merger.

In this research, we study the characteristics of three solar loops using the images observed in the radiation region with the Hinode/XRT telescope on 11 September 2017. Fluctuations of solar loops can be traced using two methods: image and spectral processing. In the first method, displacements and disturbances are measured in images, while in the second method, periodic patterns are searched in Doppler shifts by spectrometers. Our analysis method is based on image processing and solar loop seismology. In this method, the time slices can be prepared from the images and then analyzed using the wavelet method. The measurement results of time series for three loops with lengths of 113040, 79128, and 62800 km were obtained in the range of 3–18, 3–6, and 3–16 min, respectively. The phase velocity of these oscillations was calculated in the range of 209–1256, 438–879.2, and 130–697.7 km s−1 for three loops, respectively. Also, Alfven speeds were determined as 150–1012, 316–708.8, and 94–562.5 km s−1. The magnetic field related to these fluctuations was calculated by the seismological method with the approximation of the thin cylindrical model for the loops measuring 2.47–16.52, 3.6–11.56, and 1.1–9.18 Gauss.

In this paper, we identify the morphological types of these dwarf galaxies and conduct a detailed study of their properties. Using GALFIT, we determined the structural properties of our sample, and with spectroscopic redshifts, we determined memberships and distances to identify dwarfs. A visual examination of the residual images reveals that our sample of 78 dwarf galaxies comprises dwarf lenticular (dS0) 22%, dwarf elliptical (dE) 69%, dwarf spirals (dSp) 4%, dwarf ring (dring) 1%, dwarf barred spirals (dSBp) 3% and dwarf irregular (dIrr) 1% galaxies. The bulge-disk decomposition (Sérsic (+) exponential) fits are only good for the dS0 galaxies. The remainder of the sample gives good fits only for single Sérsic fits. The color-magnitude relation (CMR) shows that the dEs are redder and fainter than the rest of the sample (except one dIrr galaxy). The Kormendy relation reveals that dE galaxies have lower surface brightness than the rest of the sample.

It can be used in a simple tip-tilt correction system to identify the relative shift between consecutive images and correlating sub-aperture images of a Shack–Hartmann wave-front sensor. The typical frequency of computation is about 1 kHz. While the software-based optimized cross-correlations may be sufficient when a small number of sub-apertures are used in a wave-front sensor, hardware-accelerated (FPGA), correlations may be required when a large number of sub-aperture images are involved, e.g., in the case of the proposed National Large Solar Telescope in India. This paper presents SolarAccel: An FPGA-based acceleration of a basic two-dimensional cross-correlation of two images. We accelerate the FPGA-based design by pipelining the individual components of the cross-correlation process. We implemented our RTL logic on a few sets of (128times 128) pixel images and (32times 32) pixel images on a Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale(+) MPSoC on the ZCU104 FPGA evaluation platform. SolarAccel performs a 2D FFT on a (128times 128) image faster than existing work. The cross-correlation on a (32times 32) image is also faster than the existing work.
