天文学家从太阳系以外的一颗恒星中检测到第一颗经确认的CME, 一颗红矮星130光年外的强大爆炸, 能够剥离外行星大气层。
Astronomers detected the first confirmed CME from a star beyond our solar system, a powerful explosion from a red dwarf 130 light-years away that could strip exoplanet atmospheres.
天文学家已经从太阳系以外的一颗恒星中检测到第一个经确认的日冕物质抛射(CME),一个红矮星,名为StKM-1762,位于距离130光年的地方。
Astronomers have detected the first confirmed coronal mass ejection (CME) from a star beyond our solar system, a red dwarf named StKM 1-1262, located 130 light-years away.
爆炸以530万平方公尺的速度进行,比最强大的太阳CME高出一万至十万倍,并可能将附近行星的大气剥离。
The explosion, traveling at 5.3 million mph, was 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than the most powerful solar CMEs and could strip atmospheres from nearby planets.
利用LOFAR望远镜通过二类无线电爆破探测到并用新的RIMS软件进行分析后,该事件揭示出一种高速流出等离子体。
Detected via a type II radio burst using the LOFAR telescope and analyzed with new RIMS software, the event revealed a high-speed plasma outflow.
这些研究结果发表在《自然》杂志上,标志着在研究太阳外空间天气及其对外行星可居住性的影响方面的一项突破。
The findings, published in Nature, mark a breakthrough in studying extrasolar space weather and its impact on exoplanet habitability.
