A University of Colorado Denver engineer is on the cusp of giving scientists a new tool that can help them turn sci-fi into ...
By integrating gamma-ray burst data from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory with advanced AI techniques, scientists are now able to estimate the distances of GRBs more accurately.
A Unified Picture of Short and Long Gamma-Ray Bursts from Compact Binary Mergers. The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023; 958 (2): L33 DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad096e ...
Find out about the last time and the next time the Earth will be hit by a Gamma-ray Burst.
The cosmos comes alive in an all-sky time-lapse movie made from 14 years of data acquired by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Our sun, occasionally flaring into prominence, serenely traces ...
A fizzled example of a gamma-ray burst, the most powerful kind of explosion known in the universe, suggests these outbursts can be surprisingly brief, researchers say.
The Fermi gamma-ray space telescope has discovered around 300 rapidly spinning neutron stars. Each of the newfound objects sweep two beams of radiation across the universe like a cosmic lighthouse.
The gamma-ray source, which also emits X-rays, as observed by NASA's Swift and ESA's XMM-Newton space telescopes, has been shown to be a binary system consisting of a "millisecond pulsar" that ...
The first measurements from the facility that is flying 400 km above Earth outside Europe’s Columbus laboratory, reveal how so-called ‘terrestrial gamma-flashes’ form in the atmosphere.
