A research team led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a breakthrough discovery. They identified a gamma-ray spectrum line with an energy of up to 37 MeV, the highest ever observed from a celestial object. This finding, published in the journal “Science China: Physics, Mechanics and Astronomy,” sheds new light on the mysteries of gamma-ray bursts and relativistic jets.
Researchers identified a gamma-ray spectrum line with an energy of up to 37 MeV,
The groundbreaking discovery was made by analyzing data from the Polar Space Telescope and the Fermi satellite. The observed spectrum line not only boasts record-breaking energy but also exhibits a unique power-law evolution in both energy and luminosity.
This significant achievement offers crucial clues for scientists to unravel the secrets of gamma-ray bursts and the powerful jets associated with them. It marks a major milestone in the field of gamma-ray burst research and paves the way for further exploration of these celestial phenomena.
