Because of this power, scientists theorize that GRBs are created by some of the universe's most violent events. This includes things like supernova explosions that mark the deaths of massive stars ...

Publications of the Astronomical Society... Spectrum-energy correlations of peak energy with total prompt γ-ray emission energies, namely Ep,i - Eiso, Ep,i - Eγ, and Ep,i - Lp, had been studied for ...

To detect those lower-energy X-rays, BlackCAT has two tools in its toolbox—an array of CMOS X-ray cameras and a coded mask imager. The array of cameras, which includes four separate cameras, is ...

These explosions generate beams of high-energy radiation, called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are considered by astronomers to be the most powerful thing in the universe. What's more ...

What would happen if time suddenly began running backwards? Of course, it can’t do that, but the question is one that recently crossed the minds of a team of astronomers in the USA.
