Summary
[edit]DescriptionNASA’s Compton Mission Glimpses Supersized Neutron Stars (SVS14209).png |
English: On July 11, 1991, the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) aboard NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detected the short gamma-ray burst whose light curve – a plot of brightness over time – is shown above. Between about 93 and 103 milliseconds, a new analysis detected quasiperiodic oscillations associated with the formation of a single, short-lived, superheavy neutron star, formed by the merger of two smaller ones. Credit: Cecilia Chirenti, University of Maryland, College Park Visual description:A ragged magenta line representing the changing brightness of the short runs across a rectangular plot. Time ranging from 90 to 120 milliseconds is shown on the bottom axis, while the number of detected gamma-ray photons, called counts, ranges from 0 to 30 along the left axis. The brightness comes to an abrupt peak (more than 25 counts) shortly after 100 milliseconds. A label at upper right reads "GRB 910711." |

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
