Dipankar's Home Page

Welcome to Dipankar Maitra's web home. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Astronomy department in the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The links on the left are supposed to give some idea about how I spend my days ...

The picture on the top left is my current favorite ... taken from a recent NASA press release, it shows the center of our Galaxy. This is a combined images of the Hubble Space Telescope in near-infrared light, the Spitzer Space Telescope in infrared light, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory in X-ray light. The full, high-resolution can be found on the original NASA site here. They also give a complementary annotated image.
