Probing the shot behaviour in Cygnus X-1 using simultaneous AstroSat-NICER observation

Yash Bhargava, Nandini Hazra, A. R. Rao +4

We analyse the aperiodic flaring features, also known as shots, observed in Cyg X-1 in the 0.1-80 keV energy band using a 6.39 ks simultaneous observation with AstroSat and NICER.…

Spectral properties of soft X-ray transient MAXI J0637430 using AstroSat

Neal Titus Thomas, Shivappa B. Gudennavar, Ranjeev Misra +1

Soft X-ray transients are systems that are detected when they go into an outburst, wherein their X-ray luminosity increases several orders of magnitude. These outbursts are markers…

AstroSat Detection of a Quasi-periodic Oscillation at ~ 42 Hz in Cygnus X-2

Vanzarmawii Chhangte, Jayashree Roy, Ranjeev Misra +1

We report the results of AstroSat observations of Cygnus X-2 during February 2016. The source's power density spectrum generated using LAXPC data revealed the presence of a promine…
