A tale of two transients: GW170104 and GRB170105A
V. Bhalerao, M. M. Kasliwal, D. Bhattacharya +30
We present multi-wavelength follow-up campaigns by the AstroSat-CZTI and GROWTH collaborations to search for an electromagnetic counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW170104…
Time varying polarized gamma-rays from GRB 160821A: evidence for ordered magnetic fields
Vidushi Sharma, Shabnam Iyyani, Dipankar Bhattacharya +8
GRB 160821A is the third most energetic gamma ray burst observed by the {\it Fermi} gamma-ray space telescope. Based on the observations made by Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI…
Hard X-ray polarization catalog for a 5-year sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts using AstroSat CZT-Imager
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Soumya Gupta, Shabnam Iyyani +16
Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) aboard AstroSat has been regularly detecting Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) since its launch in 2015. Its sensitivity to polarization measurements at…
The AstroSat Mass Model: Imaging and Flux studies of off-axis sources with CZTI
Sujay Mate, Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Varun Bhalerao +11
The Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) on AstroSat is a hard X-ray coded-aperture mask instrument with a primary field of view of 4.6 x 4.6 degrees (FWHM). The instrument collima…
Sub-MeV spectroscopy with AstroSat-CZT Imager for Gamma Ray Bursts
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Soumya Gupta, Vidushi Sharma +10
Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) onboard AstroSat has been a prolific Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) monitor. While the 2-pixel Compton scattered events (100 - 300 keV) are used to extr…
Prompt emission polarimetry of Gamma Ray Bursts with ASTROSAT CZT-Imager
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Santosh V. Vadawale, E. Aarthy +10
X-ray and Gamma-ray polarization measurements of the prompt emission of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to be extremely important for testing various models of GRBs. So far, t…
