美国航天局科学家提议使用磁铁,而不仅仅是超新星,制造大量重元素,例如黄金。 NASA scientist proposes magnetars, not just supernovas, create significant heavy elements like gold.

美国航天局科学家Anirudh Patel指出,磁铁,具有极强磁场的中子恒星,可能在我们的银河系中创造出多达10%的重元素,如黄金。 NASA scientist Anirudh Patel suggests that magnetars, neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields, may be responsible for creating up to 10% of heavy elements like gold in our galaxy. 据认为,当磁铁在耀斑中释放高能辐射时,这些元素就形成,从而形成产生重金属的过程。 These elements are thought to form when magnetars release high-energy radiation in flares, contributing to a process that creates heavy metals. 这一理论以20年前的空间望远镜数据为基础,挑战了以前关于这些元素起源的信念,并可由美国航天局即将进行的COSI飞行任务加以验证。 This theory, based on 20-year-old space telescope data, challenges previous beliefs about the origins of these elements and could be validated by NASA's upcoming COSI mission.
