Previous research also indicated that Earth looks down the axis of this system, known as Wolf-Rayet 104, raising concerns ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic ... Astronomers have sent x-ray telescopes into orbit to scan the sky, to catch the first x-ray afterglow of a burst as soon as possible.

Magnetars are neutron stars characterized by some of the most powerful magnetic fields in the Universe, as well as their intense X-ray and gamma-ray emissions and outbursts. An international team ...

Furthermore, the astronomers analyzed multiwavelength data of 3C 216, finding simultaneous flaring activity in optical, ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma-ray bands between May 1–9, 2023. This ...

That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a great circuit to measure even relatively weak radiation sources. It uses a very small photodiode, and draws so little ...

It's not easy to imagine how high the frequency of a high-energy gamma ray is. During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will ...

In this research, we will establish an imaging method to visualize line X-ray gamma-rays from activated materials in general. We will expand this method to the fields of space, medicine, and ...

A new study explains how thunderstorm electric fields produce strong gamma‐ray glows with oscillating gamma‐ray rates, and that these oscillations develop into intense pulse trains that closely ...

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 ...
