Gamma-Ray Bursts

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are among the most energetic explosions in the universe, releasing massive amounts of gamma radiation in a short time. They typically occur when massive stars collapse into black holes or during the merger of neutron stars. GRBs can outshine entire galaxies for brief moments, making them detectable across vast distances. In high-energy astrophysics, they provide valuable insights into stellar evolution, cosmic phenomena, and the nature of the universe. Understanding GRBs helps astrophysicists explore extreme environments and the fundamental laws governing the cosmos.
