Astronomi sinar gama adalah pengamatan astronomi terhadap sinar gama, bentuk radiasi elektromagnetik yang paling energik dengan energi foton di atas 100 KeV.
Deskripsi
[sunting | sunting sumber]Sinar gama dalam kisaran MeV dapat dihasilkan oleh Matahari (fusi energi di inti matahari) maupun Bumi (interaksi atmosfer dengan partikel sinar kosmik), tetapi sinar gama dalam kisaran GeV ditemukan di luar Bima Sakti. Karenanya, sinar gama berkisar GeV merupakan kajian penting dalam astronomi ekstragalaksi. Meskipun demikian, pada tahun 2017, Teleskop Fermi mengamati bahwa semburan matahari dapat menghasilkan sinar gama berkisar GeV[1]
