X-Ray Flashes Tied To Low-End Massive Stars
September 1, 2006 — Massive stars as much as 40 times bigger than our sun often produce brilliant gamma-ray bursts when they explode, leaving behind black holes. Observations of a supernova discovered earlier this year, ... > full story -
Astronomers Use Supercomputers To Study Atoms Linked To Black Holes
August 23, 2006 — Super-hot atoms in space hold the key to an astronomical mystery, and an Ohio State University astronomer is leading an effort to study those atoms here on Earth. The team used supercomputers to ... > full story -
Where Are The Supermassive Black Holes Hiding?
July 26, 2006 — European and American scientists, on a quest to find supermassive black holes hiding in nearby galaxies, have found surprisingly few. Either the black holes are better hidden than scientists realized ... > full story -
Scientists Find The Reason Behind Black Holes' Light Shows
June 22, 2006 — A team of astronomers led by the University of Michigan may know how black holes are lighting up the Universe. New data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory show, for the first time, that powerful ... > full story -
When Galaxies Collide: Supercomputers Reproduce Fluid Motions Of Cosmic Duet
May 31, 2006 — A wispy collection of atoms and molecules fuels the vast cosmic maelstroms produced by colliding galaxies and merging supermassive black holes, according to some of the most advanced supercomputer ... > full story -
Astrophysicists Discover 'Compact Jets' From Neutron Star
May 30, 2006 — Compact jets that shoot matter into space in a continuous stream at near the speed of light have long been assumed to be a unique feature of black holes. But these odd features of the universe may be ... > full story -
Scientists Predict How To Detect A Fourth Dimension Of Space
May 25, 2006 — Scientists at Duke and Rutgers universities have developed a mathematical framework they say will enable astronomers to test a new five-dimensional theory of gravity that competes with Einstein's ... > full story -
Astronomers Discovery Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Emission From Microquasar
May 19, 2006 — In a recent issue of journal Science, the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope has reported the discovery of a variable very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from a ... > full story -
Hubble Finds That Earth Is Safe From One Class Of Gamma-Ray Burst
May 12, 2006 — Homeowners may have to worry about floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes destroying their homes, but at least they can remove long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from their list of potential natural ... > full story -
NASA's Chandra Finds Black Holes Are 'Green'
April 25, 2006 — Black holes are the most fuel efficient engines in the universe, according to a new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. By making the first direct estimate of how efficient or "green" black ... > full story
