history/ gamma raysdiscoveryPaul Villard/ A0165 History of scienceThe discovery of gamma rays by the relatively unknown French physicist Paul Villard is described in its historical context. From the beginning Villard gave a correct interpretation of the new rays, but his discovery was largely ...
Discovery of gamma rays Gamma rays were first observed in 1900 by French chemist Paul Villard when he was investigating radiation from radium, according to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA). A few years later, New Zealand-born chemist and physicist Ernest Ruther...

We report here the discovery of gamma-ray pulsations from PSR J1028-5819 in early observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. The gamma-ray light curve shows two sharp peaks having phase separation of 0.460 +- 0.004, trailing the very narrow radio...
With the success of the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer currently in orbit, this is quite an exciting time in the history of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). The study of GRBs is a modern astronomical mystery story that began over 30 years ago with the serendipitous discovery of these astronomical...
of X-rays, Sco X-1 [49]. An excellent summary of the early cosmic ray research from its beginning to about 1960 is contained in the text book “Cosmic Rays” [130]. The real history of gamma-ray astronomy started with predictions in the 1950s: Hayakawa predicted the diffuse galactic ...
Thanks to the discovery of X-ray and optical afterglows by BeppoSAX, their distant extra-galactic nature was definitely established in 1997. We discuss the history and current status of the study of gamma-ray burst afterglows, and future VLT observations that can significantly advance the field. ...
