Astronomers have employed the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) to observe a mysterious gamma-ray emitting source designated HESS J1857+026. Results of the ...
Data collected using multiple NSF NOIRLab facilities reveal a gamma-ray burst that lasted more than seven hours and ...
Scientists have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever from a dead star called a pulsar. The energy of these gamma rays clocked in at 20 tera-electronvolts, or about ten trillion times the energy ...
A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly ...

A gamma-ray blast just broke every expectation scientists had
A single gamma-ray burst has forced astronomers to redraw their mental map of how the most violent explosions in the universe ...
Thunderstorms in the tropics are literally radioactive, according to a team of researchers that recently used a retrofitted spy plane to survey the phenomena. The team’s research was published in two ...
A tremendous cosmic explosion 2.4 billion light years away temporarily changed the electric field in Earth’s ionosphere (the electrically-charged upper layer of our atmosphere that helps shield life ...
Last year, Northwestern University researchers reported new observational evidence that long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can result from the merger of a neutron star with another compact object (either ...
