Gamma Ray Astronomy: From Pulsars to Supermassive Black Holes

Описание к видео Gamma Ray Astronomy: From Pulsars to Supermassive Black Holes

Gamma rays are the highest energy photons in the electromagnetic spectrum, created by the densest, most energetic processes in the universe. They have so much energy that they can't be reflected and focused onto a detector like lower energy photons. Though it developed considerably later than other, more traditional, modes of astronomy, gamma ray astronomy allows us to peer into the inner workings of mysterious systems like the jets of supermassive back holes, neutron stars, solar flares, and more!
