  • Challenging Einstein – New Study Suggests That Dark Matter Interacts With Gravity in a Non-Local Way

    Updated: 2023-08-31 08:18:56
    A recent study from SISSA proposes a new model of non-local interaction between the dark matter of a galaxy and gravity. Isaac Newton described his...

  • Unprecedented gamma-ray burst explained by long-lived jet

    Updated: 2023-08-31 05:16:59
    While astrophysicists previously believed that only supernovae could generate long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), a 2021 observation uncovered evidence that compact-object mergers also can generate the phenomenon. Now, a new simulation confirms and explains this finding. If the accretion disk around the black hole is massive, it launches a jet that lasts several seconds, matching the description of a long GRB from a merger.

  • Sun’s Mighty Solar Wind Powered by Tiny “Picoflare Jets” Within Coronal Holes

  • Telescopes help unravel pulsar puzzle

    Updated: 2023-08-30 18:17:32
    With a remarkable observational campaign that involved 12 telescopes both on the ground and in space, including three European Southern Observatory (ESO) facilities, astronomers have uncovered the strange behavior of a pulsar, a super-fast-spinning dead star. This mysterious object is known to switch between two brightness modes almost constantly, something that until now has been an enigma. But astronomers have now found that sudden ejections of matter from the pulsar over very short periods are responsible for the peculiar switches.
