Development of a one-dimensional position sensitive detector for Compton X-ray polarimeters
Abhay Kumar, Santosh V. Vadawale, N. P. S. Mithun +4
The scientific potential of X-ray polarimetry has long been recognized, but the challenges in measuring polarization have left it largely unexplored, particularly in the hard X-ray…
A Novel Optical Design for Wide-Field Imaging in X-ray Astronomy
Neeraj K. Tiwari, Santosh V. Vadawale, N. P. S. Mithun
Over the decades, astronomical X-ray telescopes have utilized the Wolter type-1 optical design, which provides stigmatic imaging in axial direction but suffers from coma and higher…
Development of a Compton Imager Setup
Anuraag Arya, Harmanjeet Singh Bilkhu, Sandeep Vishwakarma +16
Hard X-ray photons with energies in the range of hundreds of keV typically undergo Compton scattering when they are incident on a detector. In this process, an incident photon depo…
Prospects of measuring Gamma-ray Burst Polarisation with the Daksha mission
Suman Bala, Sujay Mate, Advait Mehla +11
The proposed Daksha mission comprises of a pair of highly sensitive space telescopes for detecting and characterising high-energy transients such as electromagnetic counterparts of…
Imaging calibration of AstroSat Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI)
Ajay Vibhute, Dipankar Bhattacharya, N. P. S. Mithun +3
AstroSat is India's first space-based astronomical observatory, launched on September 28, 2015. One of the payloads aboard AstroSat is the Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI), ope…
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…
