Fermi Bubbles News Today

As predicted by general relativity, the rapid spin of our galaxy's 4.1-million-solar-mass black hole is able to warp the fabric of spacetime.

When the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope entered low-Earth orbit in 2008, it opened our eyes to a whole new Universe of high-energy radiation.

In new research published in Nature Astronomy, we show that a glowing cocoon that has puzzled astronomers for a decade is caused by gamma rays emitted by fast-spinning extreme stars called “millisecond pulsars” in a galaxy orbiting the Milky Way.

The so-called Fermi bubbles - two large structures emitting high-energy gas - are centered on the core of the Milky Way but also extend above and below it... 06.09.2022, Sputnik International

MIT physics professors Tracy Slatyer and Jesse Thaler and mathematics professor Wei Zhang were among 16 selected to receive 2022 Simons Investigator awards in Mathematics, Physics, Astrophysics, and Computer Science.

The bubbles, which extend over 36,000 light-years, are being driven by energetic outflows from its supermassive black hole.

black holes, exploding stars, magnetic fields and inexplicable bubbles of gas. Now, using data from two such telescopes — NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory and the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa — researchers just pieced together the most comprehensive picture yet of our galaxys center. The result is a glorious tangle of orange, green and purple X-ray emissions, intertwined with tendrils of ghostly gray radio signals. This image is an "unprecedented" view of the galactic center, plus...

Threads of superheated gas and magnetic fields are weaving a tapestry of energy at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. A new image of this new cosmic masterpiece was made using a giant mosaic of data from NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory and the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa.
