Astrosat aids unravelling mysteries of transient black hole x-ray binary

An international team of scientists, led by researchers from Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCCA), used Astrosat to study the black hole X-ray binary system MAXI J1820+070. The study provides insights into the system's behavior, accretion states, black hole's spin, and its connection with emissions from inner and outer accretion flow components.
