Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs): Intense explosions observed in distant galaxies that release massive amounts of energy, primarily in the form of gamma rays. Kilonova Explosions (Neutron Star Mergers) : ...
Astronomers, using data from NASA’s Swift Observatory, have identified an extraordinary recurring signal from two massive black holes in a galaxy a billion light-years away. Known as AT 2021hdr, this ...
One idea was that AT 2021hdr was a tidal disruption event (TDE) ,] where a star strays too close to a black hole and is ripped apart. This can create periodic bursts as the stellar remnant orbits the ...
In March 2021, astronomers observed a high-energy burst of light from a distant galaxy. Assigned the name AT 2021hdr, it was thought to be a supernova. However, there were enough interesting features ...
