| contents | We report results from a detailed study of the neutron star X-ray binary, 4U 1608-52 using observations with {\it AstroSat} (LAXPC/SXT) and {\it NICER} during its 2016 and 2020 outbursts. The 0.7--20.0 keV spectra could be well described with the disk blackbody and thermal Comptonization model. The best-fitting inner disk temperature is $\sim$ 1 keV and radius { $\sim$ 22.17$^{+2.57}_{-2.38}$--27.19$^{+2.03}_{-1.85}$} km and no significant evolution was observed in the disk radius after performing flux and time-resolved spectroscopy. We used a multi-Lorentzian approach to fit the power density spectra and obtained broad-band noise variability. We estimated the energy-dependent fractional root mean square and time-lag of the broad-band noise, and these variations are quantitatively modelled as being due to the coherent variation of the disk emission and the coronal heating rate. Thus, the rapid temporal modeling is consistent with the longer term spectral evolution where the inner disk radius does not vary, and instead the variations can be attributed to accretion rate variations which changes the inner disk temperature and the coronal heating rate. |
