Since then, work in asteroseismology has exploded.

霍尔：从那时起，星震学的工作呈爆炸式增长。

This approach is known as asteroseismology, and the professor at Conny's conference was using it to understand the rotation of collapsed stars.

霍尔：这种方法被称为星震学，康尼会议上的教授用它来了解坍缩恒星的旋转。

Understanding which elements are inside a star, through asteroseismology measurements, can reveal to which generation that star belongs, and so from how many predecessor stars it has been recycled.

通过星震学测量了解恒星内部有哪些元素，可以揭示该恒星属于哪一代，以及它从多少前任恒星中回收。
