Tauri stars are newly formed and are known for their periodic and random fluctuations in brightness. Less than 10 million years old, they do not yet have nuclear fusion occurring in their core. The first discovered, also named T. Tauri, was found in the Taurus constellation.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists from Argentina and Spain have found observable evidence of a young star emitting gamma radiation for the very first time.<\/p>\n<p>The astronomers used the Fermi satellite telescope, which sees the universe in gamma-rays and observed a T. Tauri star emitting blasts of gamma radiation, which they note is the \u201cmost energetic region of the electromagnetic spectrum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>T. Tauri stars are still in the process of being formed, and have a relatively low mass and disk of gas and dust orbiting around them, which can act as a birthing ground for planets. The celestial beings are also extremely volatile.<\/p>\n<p>The Fermi satellite telescope used in the study has been continuously searching space since it launched in 2008. However, around 30% of the gamma-rays detected by the telescope have not been attributed to a source yet, including the rays now attributed to the young star observed in the study.<\/p>\n<p>The team noted three unidentified gamma sources that were observed in a region of space called NGC 2071, where at least 58 T. Tauri stars have been discovered. The study claims that no other sources of gamma radiation are thought to be in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The study authors say one possible explanation is that gamma-rays are produced sporadically when T. Tauri stars create \u201cmegaflares.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similar to our sun\u2019s solar flares but exponentially larger and more powerful, they are formed when magnetic energy gets stored in the star\u2019s atmosphere and then released in a powerful blast of electromagnetic energy.<\/p>\n<p>The authors hypothesize it may also explain the origin of other previously unknown gamma-ray sources, as well as provide clues into the early formation of solar systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
