Gamma-ray Burst

Some researchers had thought magnetars wouldn't be massive enough to produce the kind of energy required for a gamma-ray burst.

That was a Gamma Ray Burst that just slammed into you, but instead of mutating into a rampaging green bahemoth, you die instantly.

Dr. Vicki Kaspi , a Professor of Physics at McGill University, explores the irradiating effects of a giant gamma ray burst.

At the point of collision they may release a giant Gamma Ray Burst.

What intrigued the researchers about this gamma ray burst is that it flared up four times over a period of four hours.

The latest gamma-ray burst to be detected accurately occurred last December.

A gamma-ray burst spews out photons in a range of energies in a very brief explosion.

Positrons and electrons annihilated each other, emitting gamma rays detected by Fermi's gamma-ray burst detector, researchers said.

Great progress on Gamma-ray burst (GRB) research has been made since the discovery of afterglows in 1997.

Countless civilizations that were destroyed by gamma ray burst.

They release flashes of X-raysabout every 10 seconds with an occasional gamma-ray burst.

Or a supernova or gamma-ray burst near our spot in the Milky Way could prove ruinous for life on Earth.

This artist's concept depicts what a gamma-ray burst might look like if we could view it up close (this is not something we'd recommend).

The gamma-ray burst was first detected by NASA's Swift satellite in April 2009.

Black holes, on the other hand, have no upper mass limit, so can encompass any mass needed to power a gamma-ray burst.
