Gamma-Ray Sources In subject area: Physics and Astronomy Gamma-ray sources refer to regions in space emitting high-energy gamma radiation, often discovered through satellite missions. Some of these sources remain unidentified and can be categorized based on their location, spectral properties, and ass...
In subject area: Physics and Astronomy Gamma-Ray Observatories are scientific facilities in space that detect and study high-energy gamma-ray emissions from celestial sources, providing valuable data on a wide range of astronomical phenomena such as Active Galactic Nuclei and blazars.

Ray(s) an order or array of soldiers, 1470. Examples: rays of chastity, 1634; of comfort, 1781; of divinity, 1674; of genius, 1856; of gold, 1729; of hope, 1838; of horsemen, 1542; of truth, 1732. Dictionary of Collective Nouns and Group Terms. Copyright 2008 The Gale Group, In...
Goiania 19872, Gilan 19963, Ecuador 20094 are some examples of orphan gamma-ray source accidents. Albeit in most cases, there is only one gamma-ray source was lost in the environment, but it is not inevitable that multiple gamma-ray sources (similar or different in energy, activity, and ...
The goodness of fit of these two examples was calculated and labeled in subfigures (a) and (b). Note that subfigure a represents a poor prediction of the response pattern of gamma oscillations from that of MUA, whereas subfigure b demonstrates a good one. Using the same method, the ...
For a source to produce this much energy this quickly (in a burst) is a real challenge. Even if the star producing the gamma-ray burst was much more massive than the Sun (as is probably the case), there is no known means of converting so much mass into radiation within a matter of...
When I was younger, I used to love nothing more than staying up all night in the cathode ray glow of the television with a bottle of caffeinated beverage by my side, watching such late night fare as Incredible Hulk reruns, badly dubbed kung fu flicks, and rubber suited monster movies. Th...
Gamma-ray astronomy has been one of the prime scientific research fields of the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) from its beginning.

Gamma raysare produced in copious quantities in theupper atmosphereof the Earth as a consequence of cosmic-ray interactions. Balloon experiments rely typically on the “growth curve” technique to estimate the contribution of atmosphericgamma raysto the observed event count rate. In this method, the...
