Scientists discover low-mass microquasars can accelerate cosmic rays, reshaping theories on high-energy particle origins.

A team of Chinese researchers has found a giant bubble of ultra-high-energy gamma rays in the Cygnus region of the Milky Way, which reveals the origin of the most energetic cosmic rays ever detected.

GECAM-C provided an accurate measurement of the low energy band spectrum of this GRB, while the Fermi/GBM covered the high energy band where the gamma-ray line showed up. In particular, this burst ...

Welcome to the High Energy Gamma Ray Astrophysics research page! VERITAS, the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System, is a ground based very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory.

These brief outpourings of energy are called gamma ray bursts. They are short in duration, lasting from a fraction of a second to a few minutes, and they emit most of their energy as gamma rays.

On March 15, 2024, a space-based observatory detected bursts of low-energy X-rays from deep in the ancient universe, ...

This site presents the energy and photon intensity of gamma rays as seen in thermal-neutron capture in two tables, one in ascending order of gamma energy and a second organized by Z, A of the target.

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. 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 ...

It does this by emitting a high energy electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray. Gamma radiation does not consist of particles but as short wavelength, high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted ...
