The science objectives of the CZTI include hard X-ray Imaging, determination of spectral and thermal behaviour of Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binary systems as well as the detection of gamma ray bursts and the study of their early light curves. CZTI is also capable of measuring hard X-ray polarisation. CZTI uses an indirect imaging technique called “Coded Mask Imaging†for the imaging purpose. Detailed analysis of performance verification data has been used to quantify the relative shifts between the mask and the detector in each individual quadrant. Corrections for this have been incorporated in the data analysis software. The methods of imaging employed and the results from the PV phase data are highlighted in this poster. |
