We present the results from the multi-wavelength monitoring observations of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 335 with AstroSat. We analysed both the X-ray (SXT and LAXPC) and UV (UVIT) data of the source at two epochs, separated by $\sim$18 days. The source was in a low flux state during theobservations, and the X-ray spectra were found to be harder than usual. The presence of soft X-ray excess was identified in the observations, and the broadband X-ray continuum was modelled with power-law and black body (modified by intrinsic absorption) and a distant neutral reflection component. We did not find any variability in the X-ray spectral shape or the flux over this period. However, the UV flux is found to be variable between the observations. The obtained results from the X-ray analysis point to a scenario where theprimary emission is suppressed and the component due to distant reflection dominates the observed spectrum.

Continuous Article Publishing mode
Since January 2016, the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy has moved to Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. This means that each accepted article is being published immediately online with DOI and article citation ID with starting page number 1. Articles are also visible in Web of Science immediately. All these have helped shorten the publication time and have improved the visibility of the articles.
