A multinational team of astronomers involving the University of Adelaide has catalogued over 70 sources of very high energy gamma rays, including 16 previously undiscovered ones, in a survey of the Milky Way using gamma ray telescopes.
The discovery, jointly announced by a
team of scientists from the University
of Cambridge and
astronomers associated with the Dark Energy Survey — a
multinational collaboration
of research institutes in the U.S. and Europe — could help scientists unravel the mysterious dark matter that constitutes over 84 percent
of all matter in the universe.
