By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...

NJIT researchers have identified a class of high-energy particles responsible for the Sun’s mysterious and long-lasting gamma ...

Researchers have discovered nine new sources of high-energy photons in the Milky Way, including some of the most energetic gamma rays ever detected. By studying these gamma-ray sources, which all seem ...

Researchers have identified a newly recognized type of extremely energetic particles located in the Sun’s upper atmosphere, revealing a phenomenon that had not been detected before. Solar scientists r ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

There is no strict theoretical limit on the highest energy of astrophysical gamma rays, so far as I know, but there are some practical limitations. The first is the energy of the particle that ...

The strongest explosions in the universe produce even more energetic radiation than previously known: Using specialised telescopes, two international teams have registered the highest energy gamma ...

Earlier this year, it was reported that Earth was hit by the brightest gamma-ray bursts seen since the dawn of civilization. Now, a team of astronomers has assigned a value to the energy contained in ...

When stars die out, they emit gamma-ray bursts. Although scientist can calculate the explosion energy from dying stars, it is difficult to do when the conversion efficiency is low or unknown. Using ...
