Understanding the origin, acceleration and propagation of high-energy cosmic rays has been a century-old mystery in astrophysics. Recently, joint observations from China's Einstein Probe (EP) ...

In general, pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation, and the most rapidly rotating ones (with rotation periods below 30 milliseconds) are ...

Astronomers have confirmed gamma-ray pulsations from PSR J0435+3233, an unusually fast-spinning millisecond pulsar located about 3,900 light-years from Earth. The discovery, reported in a study ...

For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

Researchers using NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have discovered the first gamma-ray pulsar in a galaxy other than our own. The object sets a new record for the most luminous gamma-ray pulsar ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Galactic Center Excess, shines in high-energy gamma rays that can't be explained by ordinary astrophysical processes. Its ...

By combining data from a satellite and a ground-based observatory, Chinese scientists have discovered an X-ray trail stretching 42 light-years across the cosmos. This finding allows them to trace the ...

Un team di astrofisici guidato dall’Accademia delle scienze cinese ha tracciato per almeno 42 anni luce il viaggio dei raggi cosmici accelerati dalla pulsar PsrJ1740+1000. Il risultato mostra che le p ...

Launched in January 2024, the Einstein Probe is a space-based X-ray observatory designed to detect and study powerful, ...

Gamma-ray binaries are interacting stellar pairs in which a compact object—usually a neutron star or black hole—orbits a massive companion, generating high-energy photons through particle acceleration ...
