Bulletin
editSomeone willing to update this article or the one for gamma rays may find this bulletin interesting: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-12/nyu-pfe120905.php

- Only 3.5 TeV. Not very high by today's standards. Zyxwv99 (talk) 02:05, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
The hyphen: gamma-ray vs gamma ray
editNote that it is standard to hyphenate the adjective, but not the noun. Thus, "gamma-ray astronomy", but "high-energy gamma rays". (Similarly for X rays and cosmic rays, of course.) Wwheaton (talk) 08:32, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Gamma-ray sensor technology
editCould do with a brief summary or links to sensor technology/design. Rod57 (talk) 00:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- and capability ? eg. energy/frequency discrimination, maximum photon counting rate ? - Rod57 (talk) 09:50, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
Incredible Distances
editI took away the part of the introduction which was speaking about "incredible distances" since actually the gamma rays, due to the interaction with the Extra-Galactic Background Light are probably the kind of radiations that travels the shortest distance in the Universe and has therefore the shortest horizon.

- Gamma ray uses that terminology and so does [NASA] "can observe them from distances of billions of light-years"... I think that is an "incredible distance" and [Here] "The incredible distance to this burst exceeded our greatest expectations". - Pmedema (talk) 07:41, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
- How far gamma rays can travels depends largely on how energetic they are.
"Incredible" sounds like hype, and not encyclopedic. Literally it means unbelievable. - Rod57 (talk) 14:10, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
Intensity interferometry
editCould mention use of intensity interferometry with gamma-ray telescopes : Gamma-ray Scientists "Dust Off" Intensity Interferometry, Upgrade Technology with Digital Electronics, Larger Telescopes, and Improved Sensitivity ? - Rod57 (talk) 14:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
