High Energy Transients: the Millisecond Domain
arXiv:1711.00266 · doi:10.1007/s12036-017-9498-x
Abstract
Search for high energy transients in the millisecond domain has come to the focus in recent times due to the detection of Gravitational Wave events and the identification of Fast Radio Bursts as cosmological sources. I will highlight the sensitivity limitations in the currently operating hard X-ray telescopes and give some details of the search for millisecond events in the AstroSat CZT Imager data.
