The first gamma ray source to be discovered was the radioactive decay process called gamma decay. In this type of decay, an excited nucleus emits a gamma ray almost immediately upon formation. [note 1] Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900, while studying radiation emitted from radium.
The radio and X-ray light increased to a peak 150 days after the merger, [33] [34] diminishing afterwards. [35] Astronomers have monitored the optical afterglow of GW170817 using the Hubble Space Telescope. [36] [37] In March 2020, continued X-ray emission at 5-sigma was observed by the Chandra Observatory 940 days after the merger. [38]

The increase in cases linked to the variant first became apparent in late November when Public Health England (PHE) was investigating why infection rates in Kent were not ...
