CZTI
The CZTI, or Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager, is a key instrument onboard the AstroSat satellite, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 2015. Its primary purpose is to observe celestial objects in the hard X-ray energy range, from 10 to 150 keV. This spectral window is crucial for studying high-energy phenomena in the universe, such as black holes, neutron stars, and active galactic nuclei.
A unique feature of the CZTI is its coded mask telescope design. This design allows it to
The CZTI's capabilities have contributed significantly to our understanding of high-energy astrophysics. It has been used
