  • 2000 Ladakh and Zanskar-The Land of Passes
    1 LADAKH AND ZANSKAR -THE LAND OF PASSES The great mountains are quick to kill or maim when mistakes are made. Surely, a safe descent is as much a part of the climb as “getting to the top”. Dead men are successful only when they have given their lives for others. Kenneth Mason, Abode of Snow (p. 289) The remote and isolated region of Ladakh lies in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, marking the western limit of the spread of Tibetan culture. Before it became a part of India in the 1834, when the rulers of Jammu brought it under their control, Ladakh was an independent kingdom closely linked with Tibet, its strong Buddhist culture and its various gompas (monasteries) such as Lamayuru, Alchi and Thiksey a living testimony to this fact. One of the most prominent monuments is the towering palace in Leh, built by the Ladakhi ruler, Singe Namgyal (c. 1570 to 1642). Ladakh’s inhospitable terrain has seen enough traders, missionaries and invading armies to justify the Ladakhi saying: “The land is so barren and the passes are so high that only the best of friends or worst of enemies would want to visit us.” The elevation of Ladakh gives it an extreme climate; burning heat by day and freezing cold at night. Due to the rarefied atmosphere, the sun’s rays heat the ground quickly, the dry air allowing for quick cooling, leading to sub-zero temperatures at night. Lying in the rain- shadow of the Great Himalaya, this arid, bare region receives scanty rainfall, and its primary source of water is the winter snowfall.

Note sur quelques anciennes mines d’or à ciel ouvert du Ladakh Martin Vernier Introduction 1 Gold-digging ants are part of the antique bestiary. About the size of a dog, they are reported to dig up gold from sandy areas. Herodotus (c. 484-c. 425 B.C.E.) located them in northern India1. The Greek historian didn’t claim first-hand information and was only quoting other travellers’ sayings of the time.

Many different factors have caused postponement of publication, including our wish to initiate discussions about the current state and future direction of the IALS and of the newsletter. Hon. Sec. John Bray’s letter on the next page takes up some of these issues. As I am about to embark on a sabbatical year during which I hope to be away from my office for extended periods of time, I believe the time is right to hand over editorial responsibility for Ladakh Studies to someone else.

  • MACE Gamma-Ray Telescope @ Hanle, Ladakh, India
    MACE AstrophysicalMACE Sciences Division Bhabha Atomic Research Centre 1 Picture Gallery 2 The MACE 3 Motivation 4 Salient features of MACE telescope 5 Physics 6 Location MACE ApSD, BARC 1 / 15 Picture Gallery MACE ApSD, BARC 2 / 15 MACE (Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope) The MACE is a 21m diameter telescope installed at Hanle in Ladakh at an altitude of 4270m above sea level, highest for any IACT based telescope. It follows a wheel and track design for the ±270 azimuthal movements. Four booms hold the camera at a focal distance of 25 m from the reflecting surfaces of the mirror facets clamped on the mirror basket. The entire reflecting surface will thus be at a distance of 25 m from the focal plane. The novel feature of the telescope is the design of the integrated imaging camera, which contain 1088 photomultiplier-based pixels and all the signal processing and data acquisition electronics. Only a few power cables and optical fiber based data cables links the camera to the central control room, where a computer network is housed for telescope control, monitoring and archiving the data. The azimuthal track of the telescope is about 27 m in diameter and the overall height of the telescope is about 43 m. The overall weight of the telescope works out to about 170 tonnes, including the mirror panels and their motion control systems, which weighs about 25 tonnes.

DOI: 10.16943/ptinsa/2014/v80i4/55174 Review Article Indian Astronomical Observatory, Leh-Hanle T P PRABHU Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore 560034 (Received on 12 November 2009; Accepted on 12 February 2014) Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO), Hanle, was set up by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), in the year 1997 in Changthang region of Leh district of Jammu & Kashmir at an altitude of 4500 m above mean sea level. Though the primary interest was to undertake astronomical studies from the high altitude cold desert site that provides the largest number of clear and highly transparent skies in India, the presence of IIA in the pristine, geographically unique site has spurred development of many experiments in several branches of science. Since the activities of the observatory now span the entire area of Leh district, the office and laboratories of the observatory are being set up in Leh, the district headquarters. Site characterization of Hanle began in 1994 and the infrastructure development in 1996. The first phase of development ended in 2000 with the commissioning of 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope. The telescope was remotely controlled and equipped with instruments for regular use since 2003. Utilizing this infrastructure, very high energy gamma ray astronomy was initiated with the commissioning of HAGAR in 2007 and MACE to be installed beginning 2015 summer. Different institutions have utilized the infrastructure for various experiments in earth sciences.
