Rwitika Chatterjee, Koushal Vadodariya, Radhakrishna Vatedka +6
XPoSat is India's first X-ray spectro-polarimetry mission, consisting of two co-aligned instruments, a polarimeter (POLIX) and a spectrometer (XSPECT), to study the X-ray emission…
Spectral nature of Sco X-1 observed using the X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT) payload on-board XPoSat
V. P. Shyam Prakash, Vivek K. Agrawal, Rwitika Chatterjee +3
Scorpius X-1 is the brightest and first discovered X-ray source in the sky. Studying this source in the low-energy band has been challenging in the past due to its high brightness.…
