A burst as energetic and as close to Earth as 221009A is thought to be a once-in-10,000-year event. [10] [9] It was the brightest and most energetic gamma-ray burst ever recorded, with some dubbing it the BOAT, or Brightest Of All Time. [9] [11] [12] [13]
No gamma-ray bursts from within our own galaxy, the Milky Way, have been observed, [161] and the question of whether one has ever occurred remains unresolved. In light of evolving understanding of gamma-ray bursts and their progenitors, the scientific literature records a growing number of local, past, and future GRB candidates.
GRB 080916C is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) that was recorded on September 16, 2008, in the Carina constellation and detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The burst lasted for 23 minutes (1400 s). [1] [2] It is one of the most extreme gamma-ray bursts ever recorded, [3] and was the most energetic gamma-ray burst ever recorded, until ...
This gamma-ray burst, researchers said on Tuesday, caused a significant disturbance in Earth's ionosphere, a layer of the planet's upper atmosphere that contains electrically charge
First burst observed simultaneously in optical and gamma-rays. Brightest observed afterglow before the launch of Swift. GRB 991216: BATSE: First burst detected by the Chandra X-ray Observatory [1] GRB 030329: z = 0.168 [Ref 5] HETE-2: The closest "classical" long GRB to Earth and the most thoroughly studied afterglow to date. GRB 050509B: z = 0 ...
The brightest gamma ray burst ever detected recently reached Earth. It’s 70 times longer than any other burst we’ve spotted.
GRB 190114C was an extreme gamma-ray burst explosion from a galaxy 4.5 billion light years away (z=0.4245; [2] magnitude=15.60est [3]) near the Fornax constellation, [4] [5] [6] that was initially detected in January 2019.
GRB 090423 was a gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission on April 23, 2009, at 07:55:19 UTC whose afterglow was detected in the infrared and enabled astronomers to determine that its redshift is z = 8.2, making it one of the most distant objects detected at that time with a spectroscopic redshift (GN-z11, discovered ...
