... A star of more than 8 solar masses can fuse elements far beyond carbon in its core, leading to a very different fate. Its path across the H–R diagram is essentially a straight line – it stays at just about the same luminosity as it cools off. Eventually the star dies in a violent explosion called a ...

The Mystery of Gamma Ray Bursts
... As the name suggests, a gamma ray burst is a short-lived emission of these high energy photons from somewhere in space. We now know that GRBs can release more energy than our Sun will produce in its lifetime, they occur about once a day, in any part of the sky, at enormous distances, and last from j ...
