Cosmic rays are made primarily of protons with a few electrons sprinkled in, and they can reach energies even higher than ...
The afterglow of the study's subject, GRB 260310A, was one of the brightest observed in a decade.
Faint, distant galaxies spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope are beginning to reshape how scientists understand the high ...
Spanish astronomers have conducted a near-infrared study of an ultra-high energy gamma-ray source designated LHAASO J2108+5157. The new study, published February 11 on the arXiv preprint server, tries ...
Scientists have identified an accelerator that produces the highest-energy protons in our galaxy, a finding that could clarify the nature of the fast-moving particles filling the space between stars.

When massive stars die, they explode, leaving behind supernova remnants. Given how common binary star systems are - more than ...
The LHAASO observatory has detected gamma rays above 100 TeV from a gamma-ray binary for the first time, challenging current models of cosmic particle acceleration. (Nanowerk News) The Large High ...
Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) employs neutron irradiation of a sample to excite atomic nuclei, triggering the emission of characteristic gamma rays within nanoseconds of neutron capture or ...
