Improved background model for the Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) instrument on-board AstroSat
H. M. Antia, P. C. Agrawal, Tilak Katoch +3
We present an improved background model for the Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) detectors on-board AstroSat. Because of the large collecting area and high pressure, t…
LAXPC instrument onboard AstroSat: Five exciting years of new scientific results specially on X-ray Binaries
J. S. Yadav, P. C. Agrawal, Ranjeev Misra +3
With its large effective area at hard X-rays, high time resolution and having co-aligned other instruments, AstroSat/LAXPC was designed to usher in a new era in rapid variability s…
Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) in Orbit Performance : Calibration, background, analysis software
H. M. Antia, P. C. Agrawal, Dhiraj Dedhia +8
The Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) instrument on-board AstroSat has three nominally identical detectors for timing and spectral studies in the energy range of 3--80…
LAXPC / AstroSat Study of ~ 1 and ~ 2 mHz Quasi-periodic Oscillations in the Be/X-ray Binary 4U 0115+63 During its 2015 Outburst
Jayashree Roy, P. C. Agrawal, N. K. Iyer +13
The Be X-ray Binary 4U 0115+63 was observed by Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) instrument on AstroSat on 2015 October 24 during the peak of a giant Type II outburst.…
Thermonuclear X-ray bursts in rapid succession in 4U 1636-536 with AstroSat-LAXPC
Aru Beri, Biswajit Paul, J S Yadav +12
We present results from an observation of the Low Mass X-ray Binary 4U 1636-536 obtained with the LAXPC instrument aboard AstroSat. The observations of 4U 1636-536 made during the…
Study of timing evolution from non-variable to structured large-amplitude variability transition in GRS 1915+105 using AstroSat
Divya Rawat, Mayukh Pahari, J S Yadav +6
In this work, we present a 90 ks continuous monitoring of the Galactic micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 with AstroSat when the source undergoes a major transition from a non-variabl…
