Using the AstroSat spacecraft, Indian astronomers have observed the Cepheus X-4 X-ray pulsar during its outburst in 2018. Results of these observations provide important insights into the properties of this outburst and shed more light on the nature of the pulsar. The study was presented in a paper published July 8 on arXiv.org.
