An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang ...

HANGZHOU -- A revolutionary, China-led telescope project has secured two further international partnerships, accelerating ...

ABSTRACT We present the technical details of the gamma‐ray burst (GRB) alert system of the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) at Lick Observatory and the successful observations of the GRB ...

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a project to build a new generation ground-based gamma-ray observatorium. It will consist of two arrays of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, one being ...

so gamma-ray astronomy was not possible until astronomers put gamma-ray detecting telescopes into space. Astronomers were at first reluctant to accept this conclusion, because the farther away the ...

and gamma-ray bursts. This is expected to boost India's standing in global cosmic ray research. The telescope measures 21 metres in diameter, weighs 175 tonnes, and features a reflector area of ...

Fermi’s main instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), thus operates more like a particle detector. When a gamma ray reaches the telescope, it impacts on a metal foil producing a pair of charged ...

An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope can now detect solar flares occuring on the side of the sun it cannot see. This could help scientists better understand solar ...

The first science observations were made the next day, of a gamma ray burst. After first light is achieved, it takes some time to ensure that all aspects of the telescope are working optimally.

They aren’t visible to the naked eye but were spotted using NASA’s Fermi Gamma Ray Telescope. Gamma rays may make the Moon shine all year around but they’re fatal to lunar explorers who plan ...
