【TED】我是如何爱上类星体,耀星体和这不可思议的宇宙的

 

My first love was for the night sky. [AI] 我的初恋是夜空。 Love is complicated. [AI] 爱情是复杂的。 You're looking at a fly-through of the Hubble Space Telescope Ultra-Deep Field. [AI] 你看到的是哈勃太空望远镜超深场的飞行。 one of the most distant images of our universe ever observed. [AI] 这是迄今为止观测到的最遥远的宇宙图像之一。 Everything you see here is a galaxy. [AI] 你在这里看到的一切都是一个星系。 comprised of billions of stars each. [AI] 由数十亿颗恒星组成。 And the farthest galaxy is a trillion. trillion kilometers away. [AI] 最远的星系是一万亿。万亿公里之外。 As an astrophysicist. I have the awesome privilege of studying [AI] 作为一名天体物理学家。我有学习的殊荣 some of the most exotic objects in our universe. [AI] 我们宇宙中一些最奇异的物体。 The objects that have captivated me from first crush throughout my career [AI] 在我的整个职业生涯中,第一次迷恋的对象吸引了我 are supermassive. hyperactive black holes. [AI] 你是超级巨星。极度活跃的黑洞。 Weighing one to 10 billion times the mass of our own sun. [AI] 重量是我们太阳质量的1到100亿倍。 these galactic black holes are devouring material. [AI] 这些银河系黑洞正在吞噬物质。 at a rate of upwards of 1.000 times more than your "average" supermassive black hole. [AI] 以比你的“平均”超大质量黑洞高出1000倍的速度。 (Laughter) [AI] (众笑) These two characteristics. [AI] 这两个特点。 with a few others. make them quasars. [AI] 和其他一些人。让它们成为类星体。 At the same time. the objects I study [AI] 同时我研究的对象 are producing some of the most powerful particle streams ever observed. [AI] 正在产生一些有史以来观察到的最强大的粒子流。 These narrow streams. called jets. [AI] 这些狭窄的小溪。叫喷气机。 are moving at 99.99 percent of the speed of light. and are pointed directly at the Earth. [AI] 它们以99.99%的光速运动。并直接指向地球。 These jetted. Earth-pointed. hyperactive and supermassive black holes [AI] 这些是喷气式飞机。土尖的。超活跃和超大质量黑洞 are called blazars. or blazing quasars. [AI] 它们被称为blazars。或者燃烧的类星体。 What makes blazars so special is that they're some of the universe's [AI] blazars之所以如此特别,是因为它们是宇宙的一部分 most efficient particle accelerators. [AI] 最有效的粒子加速器。 transporting incredible amounts of energy throughout a galaxy. [AI] 在整个星系中输送难以置信的能量。 Here. I'm showing an artist's conception of a blazar. [AI] 在这里我正在展示一位艺术家对布拉查的构思。 The dinner plate by which material falls onto the black hole [AI] 物质落入黑洞的餐盘 is called the accretion disc. [AI] 被称为吸积盘。 shown here in blue. [AI] 这里以蓝色显示。 Some of that material is slingshotted around the black hole [AI] 其中一些物质被弹射在黑洞周围 and accelerated to insanely high speeds [AI] 加速到了疯狂的高速 in the jet. shown here in white. [AI] 在飞机上。此处显示为白色。 Although the blazar system is rare. [AI] 虽然blazar系统很少见。 the process by which nature pulls in material via a disk. [AI] 自然界通过圆盘吸入物质的过程。 and then flings some of it out via a jet. is more common. [AI] 然后用喷气式飞机把它扔出去。这种情况更为普遍。 We'll eventually zoom out of the blazar system [AI] 我们最终将缩小blazar系统 to show its approximate relationship to the larger galactic context. [AI] 显示它与更大的银河系背景的近似关系。 Beyond the cosmic accounting of what goes in to what goes out. [AI] 超越宇宙对什么进入什么输出的解释。 one of the hot topics in blazar astrophysics right now [AI] blazar天体物理学目前的热门话题之一 is where the highest-energy jet emission comes from. [AI] 是能量最高的喷射源。 In this image. I'm interested in where this white blob forms [AI] 在这幅图中。我感兴趣的是这个白色斑点在哪里形成 and if. as a result. there's any relationship between the jet [AI] 如果。因此这架喷气式飞机之间有什么关系吗 and the accretion disc material. [AI] 吸积盘材料。 Clear answers to this question [AI] 这个问题的明确答案 were almost completely inaccessible until 2008. [AI] 在2008年之前几乎完全无法进入。 when NASA launched a new telescope that better detects gamma ray light -- [AI] 当美国宇航局发射了一台能更好地探测伽马射线的新望远镜时-- that is. light with energies a million times higher [AI] 就是。能量高出一百万倍的光 than your standard x-ray scan. [AI] 比你的标准x光扫描。 I simultaneously compare variations between the gamma ray light data [AI] 我同时比较了伽马射线光数据之间的变化 and the visible light data from day to day and year to year. [AI] 以及日复一日、年复一年的可见光数据。 to better localize these gamma ray blobs. [AI] 为了更好地定位这些伽马射线斑点。 My research shows that in some instances. [AI] 我的研究表明,在某些情况下。 these blobs form much closer to the black hole than we initially thought. [AI] 这些斑点形成的距离黑洞比我们最初想象的要近得多。 As we more confidently localize [AI] 随着我们更加自信地本地化 where these gamma ray blobs are forming. [AI] 这些伽马射线斑点形成的地方。 we can better understand how jets are being accelerated. [AI] 我们可以更好地理解喷气式飞机是如何加速的。 and ultimately reveal the dynamic processes by which some of the most fascinating objects in our universe are formed. [AI] 最终揭示了我们宇宙中一些最迷人的物体形成的动力学过程。 This all started as a love story. [AI] 这一切都是从一个爱情故事开始的。 And it still is. [AI] 现在仍然如此。 This love transformed me from a curious. stargazing young girl [AI] 这种爱使我从一个好奇的人变成了一个好奇的人。凝视星空的少女 to a professional astrophysicist. [AI] 给一个专业的天体物理学家。 hot on the heels of celestial discovery. [AI] 紧跟着天体的发现。 Who knew that chasing after the universe [AI] 谁知道追逐宇宙 would ground me so deeply to my mission here on Earth. [AI] 会让我深深地感受到我在地球上的使命。 Then again. when do we ever know where love's first flutter will truly take us. [AI] 再说一遍。什么时候我们才知道爱的第一次拍击会把我们带到哪里。 Thank you. [AI] 非常感谢。 (Applause) [AI] (掌声)
