This means the cosmic rays do not come uniformly from all directions; there is a direction from which the rate is higher. The anisotropy is significant at 5.2 standard deviations (a chance of ...

Somewhere in our galaxy are engines capable of driving atomic fragments to velocities that come within a whisker of ...

For the first time, scientists have an almost complete sky map of high-energy cosmic rays. While waiting for construction of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory to be completed at the South Pole ...

OF the several effects of modulation of cosmic rays which are solar in origin the ... term and day to day characteristics of the diurnal anisotropy is of prime relevance in the development of ...

The mystery object, known as ASKAP J1832- 0911, is located within the Milky Way about 15,000 light-years away from Earth.

Astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), in collaboration with international teams, ...

More like killer-nova. Violent star collisions, called a kilonova, could devastate our planet due to a lethal spew of radiation — namely gamma rays, cosmic rays and x-rays — that are emitted ...

"This is an important result, as we can conclude that the measured CRe [cosmic ray electrons] most likely originate from very few sources in the vicinity of our own solar system, up to a maximum ...

Ever since French physicist Pierre Auger proposed in 1939 that cosmic rays must carry incredible amounts of energy, scientists have puzzled over what could be producing these powerful clusters of ...
