"The horizontal direction on the muon is very relevant," said de Jong. Muons can also be formed in cosmic-ray spallation, wherein a cosmic ray enters Earth's atmosphere and collides with a ...

Cosmic rays can effectively produce C-13 and N-15 isotopes via spallation nuclear reactions on oxygen atoms in various Martian rocks. We calculate that in the top meter of the Martian rocks, the rates ...

Have you ever had an X-ray taken of your bones ... magnetic fields at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The particular cosmic "bone" shown here is G359.13142-0.20005 (G359.13 for short, or ...

A composite of X-ray and radio data showing galactic center ... a little more than a third of the way down. The particular cosmic "bone" shown here is G359.13142-0.20005 (G359.13 for short ...

This breakthrough opens new perspectives for cosmic research. It connects major astrophysical phenomena, like short gamma-ray bursts, to the production of rare elements. Future observations could ...

Not only could this neutrino, also known as a "ghost particle," have been fleeing a gamma-ray burst or a supermassive black hole, but it could also have been produced by an ultra-powerful cosmic ...

"Using the results of the Galactic ridge X-ray emission and Cosmic X-ray background studies based on the Suzaku observations, we reanalyzed the ASCA data of AX J145732−5901," the paper reads.

revealing correlations between solar modulation and cosmic ray movement. AMS measurements provide insights i... Cosmic rays and their byproduct, muons, may help scientists study tornado formation ...

Among them was an ethereal landscape nicknamed the Cosmic Cliffs. This glittering realm of star birth is the subject of a new 3D visualization derived from the Webb data. The visualization ...
