Among the most fascinating phenomena are gamma rays, the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. Recently, ...

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 ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has surveyed the sky for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the universe’s most luminous ...

The Fermi space telescope belonging to the US space agency NASA investigates cosmic gamma radiation ... Fermi’s main instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), thus operates more like a particle ...

The development of the atmospheric Cerenkov imaging technique for ground‐based γ‐ray astronomy has led to a rapid growth in the number of observatories. The detection of TeV γ‐rays from active ...

O'Connor (UMD/GWU) and J. Rastinejad & W Fong (Northwestern Univ) NASA's Swift telescope captured the "afterflow" of the powerful gamma-ray burst about an hour after the agency detected the event.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the stunning image of Cartwheel Galaxy. This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed StarBurst, a small satellite (SmallSat) instrument for NASA's StarBurst ...

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 ...
