Getting grips on a strongly magnetized neutron star geometry

10/28/2022 - 12:11

Research

Researchers from the Space Research Institute and their colleagues determined geometrical parameters of a neutron star floating in the Galaxy 21,000 light years away. The finding confirms old ideas that this star precesses like a whirligig. The results were published in Nature Astronomy.

Сачок для гамма-всплесков

10/14/2022 - 11:26

Исследования

9 октября 2022 года произошел один из самых ярких гамма-всплесков за всю историю их наблюдений. Он не попал в поле зрения телескопа ART-XC им. М.Н. Павлинского, но именно благодаря этому удалось надежно измерить кривую его блеска в жестком рентгеновском — мягком гамма-диапазонах. Как же это получилось?
