• dineutron (Noun) [English] A particle consisting of two neutrons.
• gamma-ray burst (Noun) [English] A flash of gamma rays that seem to originate from a random point in the sky; their most likely sources are believed to be supernova explosions of a very massive stars and mergers of neutron stars.
• glitch (Noun) [English] An unexpected behavior in an electrical signal, especially if the signal spontaneously returns to expected behavior after a period of time.
• gravitational collapse (Noun) [English] The stage in the evolution of a star in which the pressure of the star is insufficient to maintain it at a stable size, and its material falls inward under its own gravity, eventually forming a black hole or a neutron star, and sometimes accompanied by a supernova explosion.
