With its large effective area at hard X-rays, high time resolution and having co-aligned other instruments, AstroSat/LAXPC was designed to usher in a new era in rapid variability studies and wide spectral band measurements of the X-ray binaries. Over the last five years, the instrument has successfully achieved to a significant extent these Science goals. In the coming years, it is poised to make more important discoveries. This paper highlights the primary achievements of AstroSat/LAXPC in unraveling the behavior of black hole and neutron star systems and discusses the exciting possibility of the instrument’s contribution to future science.

AstroSat/LAXPC 凭借其在硬 X 射线上的大有效面积、高时间分辨率和与其他仪器的协同校准，旨在开创 X 射线双星快速变异研究和宽光谱带测量的新时代。在过去的五年中，该仪器在很大程度上成功地实现了这些科学目标。在接下来的几年里，它有望做出更重要的发现。本文重点介绍了 AstroSat/LAXPC 在揭示黑洞和中子星系统行为方面的主要成就，并讨论了该仪器对未来科学做出贡献的令人兴奋的可能性。
