☆ A gamma-ray explosion that was so bright it blinded scientists' equipment is even weirder than first thought

Scientists marveled at the power of the gamma-ray jet, which likely marked the birth of a black hole. Astronomers have since been trying to work out what could have made the gamma-ray burst so bright, and may finally have an answer. Researchers have discovered that the gamma-ray explosion ejected a jet with an unusual structure which dragged a large amount of stellar material along with it. The analysis demonstrates that the most extreme explosions do not obey the standard physics assumed for normal gamma-ray bursts, he said. Still, according to O'Connor, this finding "a massive step forward in our understanding of gamma-ray bursts," the "equivalent Rosetta stone of long GRBs."

☆ "Фабрика" по производству темной материи может находиться недалеко от Земли

По словам исследователей, источник темной материи, вероятно, располагается всего в 520 световых годах. Ученые считают, что гигантская красная звезда Бетельгейзе могла бы производить тонны гипотетических частиц темной материи, называемых аксионами. По словам физика из Массачусетского технологического института Джошуа Фостера, работа помогла поставить новые ограничения на потенциальные свойства аксионов. По словам Фостера, ученым придется исключить множество источников сигнала, не связанных с темной материей, прежде чем подтвердить теорию. Но такие исследования Бетельгейзе, возможно, не только помогут обнаружить темную материю, но и предсказать, когда звезда взорвется в сверхновую.

☆ Астрономы обнаружили загадочные вспышки сверхъяркого рентгеновского источника

Итальянские астрономы обнаружили необычную активность сверхъяркого рентгеновского источника NGC 4559 X7, располагающегося на расстоянии 29 миллионов световых лет от Земли. Известно, что в ней находятся два ярких источника рентгеновских лучей: X7 и X10. Астрономы построили кривую блеска NGC 4559 X7. Кроме того, в момент максимальной светимости объекта ученые наблюдали вспышечную активность, чего ранее не наблюдалось для этого Х7. По словам ученых, загадочные вспышки сверхъяркого рентгеновского источника (ULX) не могут быть объяснены только одним механизмом.
