Astrosat

Researchers from NASA and India’s ISRO have collaborated to study the interaction between a massive black hole and a star that ventured too close. Using multiple observatories, including AstroSat, they discovered the link between tidal disruption events and quasi-periodic eruptions. This research offers new insights into the expanding debris disk...

India's AstroSat space telescope has achieved a significant milestone by detecting more than 600 Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB), each marking the death of a massive star or merging of neutron stars.

A research team including astronomers from the US, India and France have studied the formation of new stars beyond the visible boundaries. The team is yet to understand how the dwarf galaxies of the past have evolved into the ones in the present day. The team includes Indian scholar Anshuman Borgohain from Tezpur University.

Indian astronomers have observed an X-ray binary system in space, known as GRS 1915+105, using the AstroSat, the first dedicated Indian astronomy mission.

The Indian Space Research Organisation is exploring the possibility of developing a next-generation astronomy satellite, a top official from the space agency has indicated.

Astrosat, India's first multi-wavelength astronomical observatory, on Monday completed five years of imaging celestial objects in space.

AstroSat, India's first multi-wavelength satellite, has detected an extreme ultraviolet (UV) light from a galaxy which is 9.3 billion light-years away from Earth, the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) said on Monday.

India's AstroSat and NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory have found that a black hole in the binary star system 4U 1630-47 spins close to the maximum possible rate.

Indian astrophysicists were treated to what they called the "most spectacular objects in the sky" when they discovered ultraviolet wings around the Butterfly Nebula, captured using Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) of AstroSat. A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, and gases.

A cosmic crash that took place 130 million years ago has given clues of how heavy metals like gold were created. The signals of the crash, which took 130 million years ago, reached Earth in August. It was immediately picked up by astronomers across the world and the findings were announced today.

Observing time will be awarded on the basis of proposals reviewed by peers (or senior academics), it said.

Under criticism that its well developed space programme focussed more on the Moon while the US and India stole a march over China by branching out into outer space with voyages to Mars, Chinese space experts are now planning missions deeper into the solar systems.

"About three to four years down the line, our target is to see industry-built, assembled and launched PSLV."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today led a host of chief ministers from across the nation in praising ISRO for its successful launch of India's maiden dedicated space observatory, ASTROSAT.
