Cover Story: Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A was unprecedented: it was extremely bright in gamma-rays and X-rays through to the far ultraviolet, allowing follow-up with multiple space and ground-based optical/near-infrared telescopes, and enabling a first association with photons at high TeV energies. That is in direct tension with a potentially observable phenomenon of quantum gravity (QG), where spacetime “foaminess” accumulates in wavefronts propagating cosmological distances, which at high-enough energy could spread photons out over the whole sky without resulting in photon loss. A simple multiwavelength average of foam-induced blurring is described, analogous to atmospheric seeing from the ground. This fits with measured instrumental point-spread functions, yet can still be consistent with the highest-energy localization of GRB221009A. View this paper

8 December 2023

To clarify the sources of outer gas accretion onto disk galaxies, we study the vicinity of four interacting galaxy systems in the Hα emission line by using the scanning Fabry–Perot interferometer of the 6m telescope of the Special Astroph...

  • Aleksandrina A. Smirnova

7 December 2023

Ionization cones and relativistic jets give us one of the most large-scale example of active galactic nuclei (AGN) influence on the surrounding gas environment in galaxies and beyond. The study of ionization cones makes it possible not only to test t...

Numerous studies suggest that high-energy (HE) neutrinos and ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic rays could originate from extremely high-synchrotron peaked (EHSP) BL Lacs, which have been identified as effective particle accelerators. Due to the discover...
