Before CTAO, VERITAS was the world's most sensitive very-high-energy-gamma-ray observatory that could detect brief flashes of the blue "Cherenkov" light, created as the gamma rays hit the Earth's ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense bursts of gamma ... is lead author on a paper in The Astrophysical Journal that promises to shed light on the behavior of these mysterious cosmic powerhouses ...

ESA’s Integral observed space for 22 years, uncovering gamma-ray bursts, black holes, and gravitational waves.

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will travel only the width of a proton, a tiny particle found within the nucleus of ...

That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation ... and a JFET wired up in a small brass tube to block most of the light and to offer some EM shielding. This, in turn, is attached to a ...

SVOM had already detected 78 gamma-ray bursts and around ten scientific publications are in preparation. "Gamma-ray bursts ...

Purdue astrophysicists and their colleagues at several institutions used this telescope, at the Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins in Arizona, to detect very-high-energy gamma-ray bursts from a ...

When bunched, the light emitted by each electron adds coherently ... the possibility of extending FEL operation into the gamma-ray, giving access to the scale and energies of nuclear physics.

“Peat soils have a unique ability to block this type of naturally occurring radiation, drastically reducing the number of ...

"We would like to understand the difference between these systems, which holds the clue to understand just how many cosmic rays are produced in the jets of microquasars." ...
