Difference between Astronomy and Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray

Astronomy vs. Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray

Astronomy (from ἀστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. In astroparticle physics, an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) is a cosmic ray particle with a kinetic energy greater than eV, far beyond both the rest mass and energies typical of other cosmic ray particles.

Similarities between Astronomy and Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray

Astronomy and Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Active galactic nucleus, Astroparticle physics, Astrophysics, Chronology of the universe, Cosmic microwave background, Cosmic ray, Dark matter, Gamma-ray burst, Neutrino, Neutron star, Physical Review Letters, Pulsar, Radio galaxy, Seyfert galaxy, Supermassive black hole, Supernova, The Astrophysical Journal.

Active galactic nucleus

An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a compact region at the center of a galaxy that has a much higher than normal luminosity over at least some portion—and possibly all—of the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that the excess luminosity is not produced by stars.

Astroparticle physics

Astroparticle physics, also called particle astrophysics, is a branch of particle physics that studies elementary particles of astronomical origin and their relation to astrophysics and cosmology.

Astrophysics

Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry "to ascertain the nature of the astronomical objects, rather than their positions or motions in space".

Dark matter

Dark matter is a theorized form of matter that is thought to account for approximately 80% of the matter in the universe, and about a quarter of its total energy density.

Supermassive black hole

A supermassive black hole (SMBH or SBH) is the largest type of black hole, on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses, and is found in the centre of almost all currently known massive galaxies.

Supernova

A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas, abbreviations: SN and SNe) is a transient astronomical event that occurs during the last stellar evolutionary stages of a star's life, either a massive star or a white dwarf, whose destruction is marked by one final, titanic explosion.
