Default Galactic Center X-Rays and Gamma Rays Confounds Astrophysicists

The galactic center continues to confound astrophysicists and
cosmologists. Again the only explanation they give to understand the
high energy radiation is more death/destruction cosmology, which
ofcourse is no suprise coming from the 'big banger' cult.

High Energy Mystery lurks at the Galactic Centre

A mystery lurking at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy - an object
radiating high-energy gamma rays - has been detected by a team of UK
astronomers working with international partners. Their research,
published today (September 22nd) in the Journal Astronomy and
Astrophysics, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System
(H.E.S.S.), an array of four telescopes, in Namibia, South-West Africa.

The Galactic Centre harbours a number of potential gamma-ray sources,
including a supermassive black hole, remnants of supernova explosions
and possibly an accumulation of exotic 'dark matter' particles, each of
which should emit the radiation slightly differently. The radiation
observed by the H.E.S.S. team comes from a region very near Sagittarius
A*, the black hole at the centre of the galaxy. According to most
theories of dark matter, it is too energetic to have been created by the
annihilation of dark matter particles. The observed energy spectrum best
fits theories of the source being a giant supernova explosion, which
should produce a constant stream of radiation.

Dr. Paula Chadwick of the University of Durham said, "We know that a
giant supernova exploded in this region 10,000 years ago. Such an
explosion could accelerate cosmic gamma rays to the high energies we
have seen - a billion times more energy than the radiation used for
X-rays in hospitals. But further observations will be needed to
determine the exact source."

The only center which confounds us is the center of your head, Mad
Fool!

TWO questions:

1: Do you know the difference between Gamma rays and X rays?

2: Have you read the science paper, and did you actually understand
it?

Had you done so, you would realise that your "score" is once again,
dumb.

Would you like to discuss some of the maths of the paper?
