burst alert system

A burst alert system is a technology that detects sudden, intense signals from space, such as bursts of energy from cosmic explosions or mysterious sources like neutron stars or black holes. It constantly monitors data from telescopes or detectors and automatically alerts scientists when such an energetic burst occurs. This rapid notification allows researchers to quickly study the event in detail, helping us understand powerful cosmic phenomena. Essentially, it’s like an advanced alarm system that notifies astronomers instantly when a significant, brief space event happens.
