Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the ...

The surprising source of the repeating burst has baffled astronomers, who haven't considered that regions in which no stars are forming could produce such a radio flare. Start the day smarter.

A big burst of brightness suddenly popped up ... The team spied five to six big flares a day as well as smaller flashes of light in between. “Flares are expected to happen in essentially ...

Launched on September 2, 2023, by the ISRO PSLV C-57 rocket, Aditya-L1 reached its orbit around the first Earth-Sun Lagrange Point (L1) on January 6, 2024. This point, 1.5 million ...

A blast of radio waves from the outskirts of an ancient galaxy challenges theories about what creates such bursts.

Aug. 5, 2024 — A groundbreaking study has revealed that red dwarf stars can produce stellar flares that carry far ... it spotted a burst of gamma-rays -- high-energy photons -- coming from ...

it triggers a massive thermonuclear explosion that releases an intense burst of X-ray radiation. Another theory is that it could be a rare, giant flare from a distant magnetar—neutron stars with ...

Specifically, turbulent fluctuations within the disk can compress plasma (a hot, electrically charged gas) to cause a temporary burst of radiation. Yusef-Zadeh likens the event to a solar flare.
