New research led by the University of Bath has unveiled that gamma-ray bursts may sometimes be formed by newborn supramassive stars, not black holes.<\/h2>\n
Satellites orbiting Earth have detected gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as luminous flashes of the most energetic gamma-ray radiation lasting milliseconds to hundreds of seconds. These blasts occur billions of lightyears from Earth in distant galaxies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
A sub-type of a gamma-ray burst, known as a short-duration gamma-ray burst, starts life when two neutron stars collide. In the final moments of their life, these ultra-dense stars generate gravitational waves just before triggering a gamma-ray burst.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
