GRB 060614 was a gamma-ray burst detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory on June 14, 2006, with peculiar properties. It challenged a previously held scientific consensus on gamma-ray burst progenitors [1] and black holes. [2]
At 15:44:06 UT on 7 Mar 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230307A . [6] at the same time, the Gravitational Wave High-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor light curve shows a roughly fast rise and exponential decay (FRED) shape with a possible precursor, with a total duration of ~100 sec. [7] At 2023-03-07T15:44:09Z UT (Solar Orbiter onboard ...
No gamma-ray bursts from within our own galaxy, the Milky Way, have been observed, [161] and the question of whether one has ever occurred remains unresolved. In light of evolving understanding of gamma-ray bursts and their progenitors, the scientific literature records a growing number of local, past, and future GRB candidates.
What was unusual about this burst is that it lasted for 200 seconds, making it a long gamma-ray burst. Such extended bursts are usually associated with supernovas created when massive stars explode.
Dozens of telescopes all over the world are pointing at a patch of sky that gave rise to the most powerful gamma-ray burst ever seen, hoping to shed more light on processes that birth black holes.
Over a year ago, a group of researchers made a revolutionary breakthrough when they successfully captured the first-ever image of a celestial phenomenon — a black hole. The short sequence of ...
[3] [7] The afterglow light emitted soon after the burst was found to be tera-electron volt radiation from inverse Compton emission, identified for the first time. [8] According to the astronomers, "We observed a huge range of frequencies in the electromagnetic radiation afterglow of GRB 190114C. It is the most extensive to date for a gamma-ray ...
The brightest gamma ray burst ever detected recently reached Earth. It’s 70 times longer than any other burst we’ve spotted.
