The AHEAD2020 main goal is to integrate and open research infrastructures for high energy and multi-messenger astrophysics. We offer a wide program of transnational access (TNA) to the best European test and calibration facilities and access free of cost to Read More …
Astronomers have measured motions within a remarkable cosmic structure for the first time using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The data show a blast wave and debris from an exploded star moving away from the explosion site and colliding with a Read More …
Astrophysicists have used computer simulations to show that in deep in space, tsunami-like structures may form on much bigger scales than here on Earth, from gas escaping the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. In fact, the mysterious environment Read More …
IAU Symposium 363: Neutron Star Astrophysics at the Crossroads: Magnetars and the Multimessenger Revolution — 1st Announcement! The 363st International Astronomical Union (IAU) Symposium will be held remotely, November 29th – December 3rd 2021. Neutron stars are the strongest magnets Read More …
Published on Nature Communications the work led by Samuele Ronchini, PhD student at GSSI and INFN associate, together with INAF, which sheds new light on cooling processes happening in jets of Gamma-Ray Bursts. What are the processes that determine the Read More …
After the discovery of quasars (QSO), in the mid-1960s the X-ray astronomy started and was important to understand better the nature and the properties of the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), as the X-ray emission seemed to occur in the majority Read More …
A new panorama from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the MeerKAT radio telescope provides a stunning view of the center of our Milky Way galaxy. It also reveals threads of superheated gas and magnetic fields, which are weaving a tapestry Read More …
The Athena (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics) mission is the second long-range space mission (L2) of the long term program “Cosmic Vision” of the European Space Agency (ESA). This mission is dedicated to the scientific theme “The hot and Read More …
Black holes are divided, based on their mass, into supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses more than 1 million Suns together that reside in the centre of the galaxies and stellar black holes with masses up to 20 times the Read More …
