Researchers have found that short gamma - ray bursts — those that last a couple of seconds or less — have
brighter afterglows than the simple, reigning model of afterglow emission predicts.
Not exact matches
Some researchers theorized that these
afterglows eluded detection because they occurred in a less dense region of a galaxy, where ejected material wouldn't have the opportunity to interact with lots of particles and produce a
bright enough burst.
Telescopes on Earth spotted the event's
afterglow, which faded over several days from
bright blue to dimmer red.
«Sure enough, the
afterglow turned out to be
brighter in the X-ray wavelengths, just as it was in the radio.»
Although GRB 000131, like other gamma - ray bursts, appears to have taken place in a remote «early galaxy» (or «sub-galactic clumps» of stars) that is smaller than today's luminous galaxies, astronomers found it difficult to detect that extremely dim, sub-galactic clump of stars even with the Hubble Space Telescope, as the observed fading of the
afterglow indicated that the maximum brightness of the gamma - ray emission was explosion was at least 10,000 times
brighter than its host galaxy.
