\t\t\tFast X-Ray Transient Latest News<\/p>\n

Recently, astronomers have uncovered new clues about the origin of a rare and powerful cosmic X-ray flash known as a Fast X-ray Transient (FXT).<\/p>\n

About Fast X-Ray Transient<\/p>\n

FXTs are energetic, non-repeating bursts of low-energy X-rays associated with violent cosmic events.
\nIt was first identified about a decade ago.
\nThey typically last from a few minutes to several hours before fading rapidly, making them difficult to study and leaving their origins largely uncertain.
\nMany FXTs are associated with high-redshift long period gamma-ray bursts (lGRBs).
\nKnown X-ray transient types with these timescales include stellar flares, X-ray binary outbursts, supernova shock breakouts (SN SBOs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).<\/p>\n

What is Gamma-Ray Burst?<\/p>\n

It is a powerful astronomical cosmic burst of high-energy gamma-ray.
\nIt emits more energy in a few seconds than our Sun will emit in its lifetime.
\nIt has two distinct emission phases: the short-lived prompt emission (the initial burst phase that emits gamma-rays), followed by a long-lived multi-wavelength afterglow phase.\u00a0
\nSources of Gamma Ray<\/p>\n

They are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as neutron stars and pulsars, supernova explosions, and regions around black holes.
\nOn Earth, gamma waves are generated by nuclear explosions, lightning, and the less dramatic activity of radioactive decay.<\/p>\n
