Astronomers Propose Gold Factory Relic

BeijingA gamma-ray glow may mark a Milky Way neutron-star collision.

If confirmed, it would be the first known remnant of such a collision in our galaxy.

Chinese Academy of Sciences and Notre Dame researchers say in an unreviewed preprint that no pulsar or supernova shell explains it.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile could test it by spotting dust-scattered light from the original flash.
