A mysterious cosmic object is sending pulses of radio and X-ray waves to Earth every 44 minutes, leaving astronomers baffled and eager for answers. Astronomers have discovered a cosmic anomaly that’s ...
A team of astronomers have compiled 12.5 years of data from the Fermi Gammy-ray Space Telescope to form a gamma-ray pulsar timing array, a system of cosmic lighthouses that could help reveal ripples ...
Some of the most energetic cosmic rays in the galaxy may come from a surprisingly small source. If Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics researcher Laura Olivera-Nieto and her colleagues are right, ...
The 10,000-year-old remnant of a supernova 2,600 light years away is acting like a giant particle accelerator, and it’s flinging cosmic rays out across the galaxy — like the Large Hadron Collider on ...
In the early universe, astronomers found a rare light that breaks the rules of how black holes grow. Researchers from Waseda ...
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held 9 a.m. MDT Saturday Aug. 28 in the desert southwest of Delta, Utah, for the Telescope Array – a Japanese and American cosmic ray observatory designed to find the ...
WASHINGTON — A new study using observations from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope reveals the first clear-cut evidence the expanding debris of exploded stars produces some of the fastest-moving ...
With the help of special telescopes, researchers have observed a cosmic particle accelerator as never before. Observations made with the gamma ray observatory H.E.S.S. in Namibia show for the first ...
VLA observations revealed that cosmic rays can play an important role in driving winds that rob galaxies of the gas needed to form new stars. This mechanism may be an important factor in galactic ...
