Interestingly, during the bright portion of the burst, the team measured line energy of up to 37 million electron volts. To ...

In addition, the group found that the gamma-ray line evolves as a power-law function of time, providing critical clues to unveil the mystery of the line. The study was published in Science China ...

If astronomers could catch bursts of gamma rays from supernova explosions that create neutron stars near the Milky Way, the ...

and they activate interstellar matter to emit spectral emission lines of X-rays and gamma rays specific to the elements. In this research, we will establish an imaging method to visualize line X-ray ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- An international team of astronomers has observed extremely rapid bursts of high-energy gamma rays from a distant galaxy, an observation that is challenging how astronomers ...

Caption The top panel shows the power-law evolution of the energy of gamma-ray line (blue) detected in GRB 221009A, while the prompt emission (black) and afterglow (gray) of this burst are plotted ...

Jamie Carter is an award-winning reporter who covers the night sky. A massive burst of gamma rays produced by the explosion of a star almost two billion light-years away was so powerful that it ...

It's just that the chance of that is small." Gamma rays emerging from neutron stars at the hearts of supernova explosions could solve the mystery of dark matter — in just 10 seconds. That is ...

For that, you need something like this gamma-ray spectroscope. Dubbed the Pomelo by [mihai.cuciuc], the detector is a homebrew solid-state scintillation counter made from a thallium-doped cesium ...

A gamma ray detector on a device developed by a Cornish company is being used to assess soil quality. Farmer Malcolm Barrett, a tenant farmer from St Tudy near Bodmin, is working with scientists ...
