加州大学洛杉矶分校团队在夏威夷的Subaru望远镜上使用光气灯来捕捉恒星倾斜、快速喷射的气体磁盘的最清晰的图像,对当前的天体物理模型提出了挑战。 A UCLA team used a photonic lantern on Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope to capture the sharpest image ever of a star’s lopsided, fast-spinning gas disk, challenging current astrophysical models.

加州大学洛杉矶分校领导的一个团队使用夏威夷斯巴鲁望远镜上的光子灯捕捉到了恒星氢-α盘有史以来最清晰的图像，揭示了162光年外的小犬座β周围一个意想不到的不平衡、快速旋转的气体盘。 A UCLA-led team using a photonic lantern on the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii has captured the sharpest-ever image of a star’s hydrogen-alpha disk, revealing an unexpected lopsided, fast-spinning gas disk around Beta Canis Minoris, 162 light-years away. 该装置将星光分割成多个渠道,保留传统成像中丢失的精细细节,而适应性光学和先进数据处理则抵消大气扭曲。 The device splits starlight into multiple channels, preserving fine details lost in traditional imaging, while adaptive optics and advanced data processing counteract atmospheric distortion. 这一突破是用一台望远镜取得的,超过了以往的分辨率极限,挑战了目前的天体物理学模型,表明高精度恒星成像不再需要大型望远镜网络。 This breakthrough, achieved with a single telescope, surpasses previous resolution limits and challenges current astrophysical models, demonstrating that high-precision stellar imaging no longer requires large telescope networks.
