BSE and NSE - The two (popular) stock markets in India

[Note that this article is a Work In Progress. I will update it as I dig deeper and get a better understanding of NSE/BSE, the companies listed on the two exchanges, how they make money, their respective financial information etc]

Mind the word "popular" in the title. BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) [1] and NSE (National Stock Exchange) [2] aren't the only stock exchanges in India. There are apparently 9 currently operational stock exchanges in India according to this wikipedia article (which I have verified from the SEBI webpage [4]).

Note that not all stock exchanges are the same. Indian Commodity Exchange Limited (ICEX), Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX) and National Commodities and Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) are only permitted to operate in the Commodity Derivatives Segment by the SEBI.

SEBI, by the way, is the Securities and Exchange Board of India, is the securities market regulator in India. For those of you who aren't Indians, SEBI is like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the USA (I think).

[NOTE : I'm trying to find out the full list of companies listed on the BSE and NSE. So far, I have come upon this BSE webpage which can be used to https://www.bseindia.com/corporates/List_Scrips.aspx - listing of companies trading on the BSE.]

The initial listing fees on the BSE is INR 20,000. The annual listing fees depends on the listing capital of the company. The minimum fees INR 250,000. See particulars here - https://www.bseindia.com/Static/about/listing_fees.aspx

Fun-fact : "ACME Resources Ltd" trades on the Calcutta Stock Exchange. [3]

Animation using GNUPlot

Image
Animation using GNUPlot I've been trying to create an animation depicting a quasar spectrum moving across the 5 SDSS pass bands with respect to redshift. It is important to visualise what emission lines are moving in and out of bands to be able to understand the color-redshift plots and the changes in it. I've tried doing this using the animate function in matplotlib, python but i wasn't able to make it work - meaning i worked on it for a couple of days and then i gave up, not having found solutions for my problems on the internet. And then i came across this site, where the gunn-peterson trough and the lyman alpha forest have been depicted - in a beautiful manner. And this got me interested in using js and d3 to do the animations and make it dynamic - using sliders etc. In the meanwhile, i thought i'd look up and see if there was a way to create animations in gnuplot and whoopdedoo, what do i find but nirvana! In the image, you see 5 static curv

Arxiv author affiliations using Python

So, I wanted to get author affiliation information from papers on arXiv. arXiv provides with an API to bulk query their database and get information. Following that, I look for the attribute 'arxiv:affiliation' in the html data. Here's the code - import urllib from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup   url = 'http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=all:astro&start=0&max_results=1000'   data = urllib.urlopen(url).read() soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(data) #print(soup.prettify()) #list = soup.findAll('arxiv:affiliation') #for i in range(len(list)): #        print list[i].contents   test = [tag.string for tag in soup.findAll('arxiv:aiffiliation')] Now, the problem I'm having is that I'm getting affiliation of all authors which I want to split into sets of affiliations of authors of a paper, which I'm stuck on at the moment. Once I get that part, I can move on to the next part of this pet project, displaying these
