The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet space telescope was launched in 2003 to investigate how galaxies evolve. The ultraviolet (UV) waveband was thought to be a rather subdued region ...

But, this telescope is in space, so the atmosphere doesn’t blur out the images. More importantly, the air above our heads absorbs ultraviolet light, preventing ground-based telescopes from even ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most violent explosions in the universe. Their prompt radiation is mainly in the soft gamma-ray band and last briefly (i.e., from milliseconds to at most hours).

Using the AstroSat satellite, astronomers from the University of Calgary, Canada, have identified 20 supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Andromeda Galaxy, which exhibit diffuse ultraviolet emission.

And now, NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, also known as NuSTAR, has compiled a colorful new view of the sun using X-ray telescopes and observations of UV light.

My group — which consists mainly of me — has been involved in a variety of mostly observational projects over the past five years, utilizing primarily Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray ...

It will be on board in 2012, when a Soyus-2 rocket carries an X-ray telescope into space to decode the nature of the universe's dark energy: an X-ray detector developed by the Max Planck Institute ...

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have spotted rare hot Ultraviolet (UV)-bright stars in Milky Way’s massive intriguing globular cluster called NGC 2808 that is said to ...
