In Depth: Indian Astronomers Contribute To Discovery Of Shortest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Recorded From A Dying Star by Karan Kamble - Jul 29, 2021 12:30 AM Gamma-ray burst illustration (Wikimedia Commons) Snapshot Shooting towards Earth for as long as nearly half the present age of the universe, the burst or signal is said to have beeped for less than a second — short, yet enough to make its powerful presence felt. The detection challenges astronomers current understanding of gamma-ray bursts...

Indian astronomers with other scientists spot unique Gamma-ray burst The burst detected by NASAs Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope on August 26, 2020, turned out to be one for the record books -- the shortest Gamma-ray burst (GRB) caused by the death of a massive star. New Delhi: A group of astronomers, few of them Indians, have detected a very short, powerful burst of high-energy radiation that lasted for about a second and had been racing towards Earth for nearly half the present age of the uni...

An international collaboration of astronomers has identified a curious occurrence of nine star-like objects that appeared and vanished in a small region within half an hour on an old photographic plate. Astronomers collaborating across countries track vanishing and...
