  Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 18, 2024 For decades, astronomers have focused on distant galaxies as the source of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. However, new observations from the HAWC observatory have revealed that microquasars - compact binary systems within our own galaxy - are also capable of producing gamma photons with extremely high energies. Researchers from the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory (HAWC) have identified microquasars as a significant source of ultra-high-energy cosmic radiation. The disco ... read more |
