      More Details Abstract Fulltext PDF

      HAGAR, an array of seven atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located at Hanle in Himalayas, has been observing VHE gamma ray sources since September 2008. Taking advantage of the high altitude location, HAGAR could achieve an energy threshold of about 200 GeV. Several astronomical sources, mostly pulsars and blazar class active galactic nuclei, have been observed in the last nine years. Pulsations from Crab pulsar and emission from blazars Mkn 421 and Mkn 501 has been detected successfully. Details of HAGAR telescopearray will be given and some important results will be discussed. Also the future plans will be described briefly.

      The Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) aboard the AstroSat satellite is the first Indian X-ray telescope in space. It is a modest size X-ray telescope with a charge coupled device (CCD) camera in the focal plane, which provides X-ray images in the $\sim$0.3–8.0 keV band. A forte of SXT is in providing undistorted spectraof relatively bright X-ray sources, in which it excels over some current large CCD-based X-ray telescopes. Here, we highlight some of the published spectral and timing results obtained using the SXT data to demonstrate the capabilities and overall performance of this telescope.

    • Continuous Article Publication

      Posted on January 27, 2016

      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.
