A record-breaking gamma-ray burst known as GRB 221009A was detected in October 2022, and now, a trio of papers has been submitted to The Astrophysical Journal Letters, revealing new insights about this rare and unique event. With up to 18 teraelectronvolts of energy packed in its emissions of light, GRB 221009A is considered the most powerful gamma-ray burst on record, and its afterglow has been challenging our current theoretical models of gamma-ray bursts.
A record-breaking gamma-ray burst named GRB 221009A was detected on October 9, 2022, and has now been described as a one-in-a-thousand-year event. This particular burst of electromagnetic radiation was caused by a cataclysmic event, possibly a supernova or hypernova explosion of a massive star or a collision of binary systems involving at least one neutron star.
Researchers have been eagerly analyzing this incredible explosion and have submitted three papers to The Astrophysical Journal Letters. According to the papers, this gamma-ray burst is breaking the rules and is considered a rare and unique event.
