Unlike the other Markarian galaxies, Markarian 501 is especially notable for its visibility in one part of this regime, which is utilized by the Fermi and INTEGRAL satellites.
Unlike the other Markarian galaxies, Markarian 501 is especially notable for its visibility in one part of this regime, which is utilized by the Fermi and INTEGRAL satellites. The first space-borne telescope in this regime was aboard Explorer 11. The Crab Nebula is especially bright in the higher-energy region of this part of the spectrum, which was studied by the Compton Observatory's EGRET telescope. A class of emissions of this type first discovered by the Vela satellites leaves a characteristic lower-energy afterglow, according to the fireball model of those emissions. Magnetars might be the source of this kind of radiation's namesake soft repeaters. The brightest events in the universe are "bursts" of this radiation. For 10 points, name these electromagnetic rays with higher energy than x-rays
