Gamma beams appear to emit gravitational waves

At the same time the gravitational wave was discovered in September 2015, the Fermi telescope also caught a short signal emitted from the vicinity.

According to Business Insider, on September 14, 2015, the Fermi telescope detected a Gamma beam , the type of beam that has the largest energy in the electromagnetic wave scale, emitted from the neighborhood with the place of the wax event. Enter two black holes that give rise to gravitational waves that the LIGO detector has captured. The probability of coincidence is only 0.2%.

However, according to what science knows about black holes so far, this is not possible. Light cannot escape from the merged black holes, because any gas around them is swallowed up by a black hole before merging. While it is possible to emit gamma rays, some gas must be left behind.

"Gamma rays emanating from the merger of two black holes will be a landmark discovery, since they all think there will be no light coming out of this event," US Aerospace Agency (NASA) explained in a press release.

To learn about the significance of this gamma beam, physicists need to observe them more, and need to link them to gravitational waves emitted by two black holes.

In the short term, this finding will help physicists in determining the source of gravitational waves, or the exact location of a black hole merger.

Two LIGO gravitational wave detectors in Louisiana and Washington use two laser beam interference methods to detect gravitational waves. However, according to NASA, the disadvantage of this method is to determine the location of the source of the gravitational wave emitted incorrectly. When LIGO detects the collision of two black holes, it locates the collision location in an area of ​​about 600 square degrees of sky, like finding a needle in a pile.

If using a Gamma beam, the scope of the search area will be narrowed to a third, to just 200 square feet.
