科学家们在银河超大质量黑洞附近 发现了第一个二元恒星系统 与先前的信念格格不入 Scientists discover first binary star system near Milky Way's supermassive black hole, defying prior beliefs.

科学家们发现了一对叫D9的恒星 在银河系中心的超大型黑洞附近运行 标志着在这样一个位置首次发现二元恒星系统 Scientists have found a pair of stars, named D9, orbiting each other near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, marking the first discovery of a binary star system in such a location. 这些恒星约有270万年的历史,在黑洞的强大引力附近处于不稳定的平衡状态,有可能在一百万年内合并成一颗恒星。 The stars, approximately 2.7 million years old, are in a precarious balance near the black hole's strong gravity, potentially merging into one star within a million years. 这一发现在自然通信中详述,挑战了先前的信念,即极端引力力可以防止二元星系统在超大质量黑洞附近形成。 This discovery, detailed in Nature Communications, challenges previous beliefs that extreme gravitational forces would prevent binary star systems from forming near supermassive black holes.
