Episode-wise spectro-polarimetry of GRB 220107A: Testing the hypothesis of evolving radiation mechanisms

Rahul Gupta, Rushikesh Sonawane, Shabnam Iyyani +17

We investigate the spectro-polarimetric properties of the long-duration GRB~220107A, which exhibited two distinct emission episodes separated by a 40 s quiescent gap, to test wheth…

Time-resolved spectro-polarimetric analysis of extremely bright GRB 230307A: Possible Evidence of evolution from photospheric to synchrotron dominated emission

Soumya Gupta, Rahul Gupta, Tanmoy Chattopadhayay +11

The radiation mechanisms powering Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their physical processes remain one of the unresolved questions in high-energy astrophysics. Spectro-polarimetric obse…

AstroSat-CZTI searches for hard X-ray prompt emission from Fast Radio Bursts

G. Waratkar, M. Dixit, S. P. Tendulkar +3

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are short-duration, highly-energetic extragalactic radio transients with unclear origins & emission mechanisms. Despite extensive multi-wavelength searches…

Spectro-polarimetry of GRB 180427A: evidence for distinct emission sites with varying polarisation

Rushikesh Sonawane, Shabnam Iyyani, Soumya Gupta +5

The dynamics of the origin of gamma-ray emissions in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) remains an enigma. Through a joint analysis of GRB 180427A, observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Teles…

Accretion Geometry of GX 339-4 in the Hard State: AstroSat View

Swadesh Chand, Gulab C. Dewangan, Andrzej A. Zdziarski +3

We perform broadband ( keV) spectral analysis of five hard state observations of the low-mass back hole X-ray binary GX~339--4 taken by AstroSat during the rising phase of…

A detailed time-resolved and energy-resolved spectro-polarimetric study of bright GRBs detected by AstroSat CZTI in its first year of operation

Rahul Gupta, S. B. Pandey, S. Gupta +11

The radiation mechanism underlying the prompt emission remains unresolved and can be resolved using a systematic and uniform time-resolved spectro-polarimetric study. In this paper…
