- Indian team discovers rare ‘bow and arrow’ radio galaxy two billion light years from Earth
An Indian team discovered a rare 'bow and arrow' radio galaxy named RAD-BAARG, located two billion light years from Earth. The galaxy may represent a clear radio signature of a giant bow shock formed by a galaxy moving supersonically into a cluster environment.
- Relativistic electron acceleration at the bow shock of Jupiter and beyond
NASA’s Juno observations revealed relativistic electron acceleration at Jupiter’s bow shock and identified a universal scaling law connecting shock size to maximum cosmic ray energy. The findings establish a new understanding of cosmic ray energy dynamics in planetary environments.
