Gamma-rays are the highest energy (the shortest wavelength) type of electromagnetic radiation. They are classified as a type of an ionising radiation; with respect to alpha and beta particles they ...
LSU researchers helped uncover what may be the first clear detection of gamma rays from a superluminous supernova, using data ...

NASA’s Fermi telescope just caught a halo of 20-GeV gamma rays wrapping the Milky Way’s center — the first-ever direct signal of dark matter
For more than a decade, physicists hunting dark matter in the Milky Way’s core kept circling the same clue: a faint glow of ...
The galaxy M87, located in the Virgo constellation, provided the first-ever photo of a black hole in 2019, when the Event Horizon Telescope captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the ...
Above the cloud tops, thunderstorms throb with a complex, frenetic light show of high-energy radiation. A view from a retrofitted spy plane soaring at 20 kilometers up revealed storms glowing and ...
A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea. Now, researchers ...
Astronomers are trying to understand what caused a series of gamma ray bursts, or GRBs — the most powerful explosions in the universe. These energetic bursts are typically unleashed by the incendiary ...
The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...
