Astrophysics found in the Milky Way 14 of objects that empty gamma radiation, corresponding to what can be expected from stars fully consisting of antimatter. Such hypothetical objects are called anti-stakes. This is reported by the Edition of Science Alert.
It is expected that the anti-branches are almost almost nothing to differ from ordinary stars, however, if they begin to attract interstellar dust, consisting of a conventional substance, then the particles will begin annigulate, the emitting gamma radiation of certain energy. However, researchers did not find the signature of annihilation gamma radiation either in a cosmic microwave background, nor in gamma reviews of the Milky Way.
In the new study of astrophysics, the data obtained by the Fermi cosmic telescope for ten years of observation of 5,787 sources of gamma radiation was analyzed. The search criteria was a signature corresponding to gamma radiation during proton and antiproton annihilation, in addition, the source was supposed to be a star. A total of 14 candidate sources were found, although scientists do not reject the possibility that they can be neutron stars or black holes.
According to researchers, a plurality of anti-stars may be hidden outside the Milky Way, in a galactic halo, where there is little interstellar substance, and therefore they do not radiate characteristic gamma radiation. It is possible that they can be sources of the newly detected signal, which is a sign of existence in space of anti-electricity.
