Legacy
Gopal Krishna's research was focused on radio galaxies and quasars from observational and theoretical perspectives.[2] He is known to have developed a relativistic-beam model which has reported use in ascertaining the luminosity of galaxies and quasars as well as in studying the cosmological evolution of linear sizes.[4] Besides, he is also credited with the discovery of galaxies and clusters at high redshifts.[5] His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles[6][note 2] and the online article repository of the Indian Academy of Sciences has listed 102 of them.[7] He has also guided a number of doctoral scholars in their research. Towards the latter part of his career, he served as a visiting faculty at several institutions including Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, European Southern Observatory, Santiago and Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy.[2] He sat in the International Advisory Committee of the International Year of Astronomy organized by the International Astronomical Union in 2009 and chaired the closing session of its UNESCO inaugural ceremony held in Paris in January 2009.[2] He has also lectured worldwide and the lecture on Understanding X-shaped radio galaxies presented on 21 September 2010 at the University of Sheffield was one among them.[8]
