Recently, we observed two neutron stars colliding.

最近，我们观测到两颗中子星相撞。

Such a star is thus known as a neutron star.

这样的恒星被称为中子星。

The bursts could come from neutron stars or a black hole.

爆发可能来自中子星或黑洞。

But not all neutron stars disappear so quietly.

但并不是所有的中子星都会这么安静地消失。

All neutron stars have incredibly powerful magnetic fields.

所有中子星都有令人难以置信的强大磁场。

A kilonova takes place when two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole merge.

两颗中子星或一颗中子星和一个黑洞合并时，就会发生千新星。

But they have theorized the signals could be produced by neutron stars.

但他们已经从理论上推测这些信号可能是由中子星产生的。

The collision of two neutron stars can produce huge explosions known as kilonovas.

两颗中子星的碰撞可以产生被称为 “千新星” 的巨大爆炸。

Neutron stars are the remains of massive stars that have collapsed into themselves.

中子星是大质量恒星坍缩后的残骸。

The object was too massive to be a white dwarf or a neutron star.

这个物体的质量太大，不可能是白矮星或中子星。

Even then, the remaining neutron stars and black holes interact and fling each other way.

即便如此，剩下的中子星和黑洞仍会相互作用，相互抛掷。

Neutron stars are the extremely dense remnants of supermassive stars that have exploded as supernovae.

中子星是极其密集的超大质量星体爆炸后残留下来的物体，这些星体曾经是超新星。

A magnetar is a neutron star with a very strong magnetic field.

磁星是一种具有很强磁场的中子星。

Many neutron stars have strong magnetic fields and as they spin, they produce radio emission.

许多中子星都有很强的磁场，当它们旋转时，会发射无线电。

On a neutron star, I'd weigh 17 trillion pounds.

而在中子星上，我的体重就是17万亿磅。

That is a neutron star, an image taken by the Chandra X-ray satellite.

这是一颗中子星，这些图片是由钱德拉 X 射线望远镜拍摄的。

The massive precursors to neutron stars often spin.

中子星的大质量前驱体经常保持自转。

During this time, most stars are likely to die, turning into black holes or neutron stars.

在这段时间里，大多数恒星可能会死亡，变成黑洞或中子星。

Pulsars, or fast-spinning neutron stars, originate from the imploded cores of massive dying stars through supernova explosions.

脉冲星，或快速旋转的中子星，起源于巨大的垂死恒星通过超新星爆炸的内爆核心。

And how neutron stars, white dwarfs and black holes are created in the first place.

以及中子星、白矮星和黑洞最初是如何形成的。
