What If a Gamma-Ray Burst Hit a Black Hole? Last year, scientists reported that they had seen evidence that gamma-ray bursts could come out of mergers between neutron stars and another compact ...
Now, another Northwestern team offers a potential explanation for what generated the unprecedented and incredibly luminous burst of light. The study, "Large-scale evolution of seconds-long ...
Distinguishing between different types of gamma-ray bursts just got a lot more complicated. A gamma-ray burst (GRB), typically associated with an exploding massive star, may have in fact come from ...
When you think of a radiation detector, you’re probably thinking of a Geiger tube and its high voltage circuitry. That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a ...
The world’s brightest X-ray machine has just produced its first record-breaking X-rays, which will allow researchers to observe atoms, molecules and chemical reactions in unmatched detail.
Scientists from Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics have introduced a new method to measure moderately saturated ...
CHICAGO: An international team of astronomers has captured the first-ever polarized radio waves from a distant cosmic explosion, known as gamma-ray burst GRB 190114C. Astronomers have hypothesized ...
Astronomers have witnessed a young, sun-like star blasting out high-energy gamma radiation for the first time. The observation represents the first evidence that this type of low-mass star, called ...
Sep. 18, 2023 — New research is challenging the scientific status quo on the limits of the nuclear chart in hot stellar environments where temperatures reach ...
