In this autobiographical account, I first describe my family, then childhood and education in India. During 1953–55, I worked in the new field of radio astronomy at the Division of Radiophysics of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Australia. During 1956–57, I worked at the Radio Astronomy Station of Harvard University at Fort Davis, Texas, where I made observations of solar radio bursts at decimeter wavelengths. I then joined Stanford University as a graduate student in 1957. I contributed to the successful operation of the Stanford Cross Antenna and then used it for studying microwave radio emission from the Sun. I was awarded the Ph.D. degree by Stanford University in 1960 and was then appointed as an Assistant Professor for three years. With an urge to contribute to evolving scientific endeavors in India, I joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) at Mumbai, India, in April 1963. In my stay of more than three decades at TIFR, I conceived of, and guided, construction of two of the world's largest radio telescopes, namely the Ooty Radio Telescope and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. These instruments have led to several outstanding contributions and discoveries in the areas of radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, and cosmology.

射电天文学家之旅:印度射电天文学的发展

在这本自传式的叙述中,我首先描述了我的家庭,然后是在印度的童年和教育。1953-55 年间,我在澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织的放射物理学部从事射电天文学的新领域工作。1956-57 年间,我在德克萨斯州戴维斯堡的哈佛大学射电天文站工作,在那里我对分米波长的太阳射电暴进行了观测。1957 年,我以研究生身份加入斯坦福大学。我为斯坦福十字天线的成功运行做出了贡献,然后将其用于研究来自太阳的微波无线电发射。我被授予博士学位。1960 年获得斯坦福大学学位,然后被任命为助理教授三年。渴望为印度不断发展的科学事业做出贡献,1963 年 4 月,我加入了位于印度孟买的塔塔基础研究所 (TIFR)。在 TIFR 工作了 30 多年的时间里,我构思并指导建造了两台世界上最大的射电望远镜,即乌蒂射电望远镜和巨型米波射电望远镜。这些仪器在射电星系、类星体、脉冲星和宇宙学领域取得了多项杰出贡献和发现。
