| Abstract : | In this work, we have analyzed simultaneous AstroSat and Insight-HXMT observations of the low mass X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 from July 2017 when the system exhibited the Heartbeat state. We performed flux resolved spectroscopy on the source after dividing the data into 20 segments. The cross correlation between lightcurves from LAXPC (Onboard AstroSat) and LE (Onboard Insight-HXMT) for each segment shows that the instruments are in calibration with each other and the lightcurves are simultaneous. The broad band flux resolved spectra (0.7-40 keV) for each segment obtained from various instruments onboard both the satellites can be described by a truncated accretion disk along with thermal comptonization and reflection. |
