The center of Milky way galaxy region is producing gamma rays,
as observed by Fermi space telescope. The real question that is
baffling the astronomers is about the source of these Gamma
rays.
Astronomers still dont understand what's producing these high
energy radiation. Speculated possible sources of their origin could
be either PULSARS or DARK MATTER PARTICLES collisions.
The innermost central regions of galaxies show extreme physical
processes. In the vicinity of a spinning supermassive black hole,
tremendous amount of energy is release, often in the form of most
energetic form of light ie, high energy gamma ray photons at mega
or even gigaelectronvolt energies.
These black holes feeds on surrounding stars, gas and dust, matter
is spiraling in onto the black hole and strong magnetic fields
channel some of the infalling gas into two powerful, well
collimated "jets" of plasma accelerating away from the center with
velocities approaching the speed of light.
THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH ENERGY GAMMA RAY PHOTONS AND THEIR PLACE OF
ORIGIN INSIDE THE JET, OR THE ORIGIN OF STRONG OUTBURSTS OF
EMISSION ACROSS THE WHOLE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM IS STILL A
MYSTERY, as many of the connected physical processes are not yet
understood in detail so far by astronomers.
