引力波

gravitational wave

Scientists at the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory in the United States announced on Monday night they had discovered the first-ever gravitational wave created by the collision of two neutron stars — superdense remnants of massive stars — on Aug 17. A Chinese satellite helped define the energy level of the newly discovered gravitational wave.

北京时间10月16日晚，美国激光干涉引力波天文台（LIGO）科研人员宣布，8月17日首次发现双中子星并合引力波事件。中国卫星帮助确定了新发现的引力波的能级。中子星即大质量恒星残留的致密天体。

Huiyan, or Insight, China's first Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope put into orbit on June 15, has been cooperating with other observatories and located the source of the wave some 130 million light years away, according to a news release from the Institute of High Energy Physics, a unit of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

据中国科学院高能物理研究所发布消息，中国第一颗硬X射线调制望远镜“慧眼”于6月15日送入轨道，与其他天文台联合，定位到了距离地球1.3亿光年之外的引力波源。

This is the first time scientist has discovered gravitational waves and a gamma ray burst from the same event — important because scientist might be able to directly see the event thanks to visible light.

此次发现是科学家首次从同一宇宙事件中发现引力波和伽马暴——科学家能在可见光下直接观测到引力波，具有十分重要的意义。
