This instrument operates as a nearly open all-sky detector above ~60 keV, making possible long integrations irrespective of the spacecraft pointing. We present a technique based on the AstroSat-CZTI data to explore the hard X-ray characteristics of the $gamma$-ray pulsar population. We report highly significant ($sim 30sigma$) detection of hard X-ray (60–380 keV) pulse profile of the Crab pulsar using $sim$5000 ks of CZTI observationsRead More →
