Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are flashes of gamma rays (electromagnetic radiation of high frequency) that come from energetic explosions in distant galaxies. They are known to be the most radiating ...
The satellite-based γ-ray detector CGRO/BATSE triggered on roughly 500 short-duration bursts during its nine-year lifetime. Unfortunately, the (1σ) positional uncertainties for these bursts were ...
Giant flashes from soft γ-ray repeaters are spectacular but rare events — only three have ever been observed in our Galaxy. The suspicion is that we have been missing some from farther afield. The ...
Fifty years ago, on June 1, 1973, astronomers around the world were introduced to a powerful and perplexing new phenomenon called GRBs (gamma-ray bursts). Today sensors on orbiting satellites like ...
Gamma rays bursts are powerful phenomena that occur in exotic places, like black holes. Scientists were pretty surprised when they found local gamma ray bursts in Earth's upper atmosphere. Now, NASA's ...
The positions of over 1000 gamma-ray bursts detected with the BATSE experiment on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory are uniformly and randomly distributed in the sky, with no significant ...
