Multi-frequency study of the peculiar pulsars PSR B0919+06 and PSR B1859+07

K. M. Rajwade, B. B. P. Perera, B. W. Stappers +3

Since their discovery more than 50 years ago, broadband radio studies of pulsars have generated a wealth of information about the underlying physics of radio emission. In order to…

An alternative scheme to estimate AstroSat/LAXPC background for faint sources

Ranjeev Misra, Jayashree Roy, J. S. Yadav

An alternative scheme is described to estimate the layer 1 LAXPC 20 background for faint sources where the source contribution to the 50-80 keV count rate is less than 0.25 counts/…
