Cthulhu Ftaghn!
The First Measurement Of Intergalactic Magnetic Fields « D.669: Neopallium
A recent discovery made earlier this month by astrophysicists based in Californian institutions has provided the first strong evidence for what they call ‘the signs of primordial magnetic fields in deep space that have permeated between galaxies since the very earliest moments of the Universe.’ It is hoped that these discoveries will help improve the knowledge of astrophysicists, especially in the fields of gamma ray charged-particle astronomy.
The two-man team, comprising of Alexander Kusenko from UCLA and Shin’ichiro Ando from the California Institute of Technology have reported evidence of gamma-ray halos in the stacked images of the 170 brightest active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the 11-month source catalog of the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope which is due to be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters…
