Over sixty flaring stars emerge from BeppoSAX data
A new analysis of the database from a past X-ray mission has revealed 63 new flaring stars. Some of the discovered X-ray and gamma-ray bursts occurred on sun-like stars in our immediate vicinity. The researchers observed the other portion coming from the distant universe, several billion light-years away. The SRON researchers conclude that the flares in the distant universe are likely all X-ray counterparts of gamma-ray bursts.
