"They allow us to see back to the earliest times that stars existed." Scientists may be a step closer to discovering how gamma-ray bursts come to be some of the most powerful explosions in the ...

The advent of AI has been hailed by many as a societal game-changer, as it opens a universe of possibilities to improve ...

Rings of dust that evidence the BOAT, as seen by the XMM-Newton Observatory. The gamma-ray burst, affectionately dubbed ‘BOAT’ (Brightest of All Time), has been found to emit gamma-rays with ...

This is a stark contrast to the extreme power observed in the corresponding gamma-ray burst. This disparity raises questions about the mechanisms that drive these events. It suggests that the ...

While admitting it falls in the category of a “morbid” explanation, the sheer power of a gamma-ray burst has the destructive ability to eliminate anything in its path. The gamma-ray burst wasn ...

In October 2022, several space-based detectors picked up a powerful gamma-ray burst so energetic that astronomers nicknamed it the BOAT (Brightest Of All Time). Now they've confirmed that the GRB ...

Until now, apparently. The burst in question was spotted by the ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory, among others, in November 2023. GRB 231115A was short, lasting only about 50 milliseconds at ...

The gamma ray burst lasted seven minutes and was so powerful ... said that the B.O.A.T's power might be explained by the way in which jets of material were being sprayed out, as normally occurs ...

“The satellite data were received in the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre (ISDC), based on the Ecogia site of the UNIGE Astronomy Department, from where a gamma-ray burst alert was sent out to ...

Constraints on Type Ib/c Supernovae and Gamma‐Ray Burst Progenitors. Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Vol. 119, Issue. 861, p. 1211. Meli, A. Becker, J. K. and Quenby, J. J.

For context, a single gamma-ray burst, or GRB, can produce more energy in seconds than the sun will radiate in billions of years. Because of this power, scientists theorize that GRBs are created ...

Gamma-ray bursts weren’t discovered until the 1960s.
