2024考研英语同源外刊7月:韦伯望远镜探测到超大黑洞

The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered yet another astounding discovery, spying an active supermassive black hole deeper into the universe than has ever been recorded. The black hole lies within CEERS 1019 — an extremely old galaxy likely formed 570 million years after the big bang — making it more than 13 billion years old. And scientists were perplexed to find just how small the celestial object’s central black hole measures.

詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜发布了另一个令人震惊的发现，它发现了一个活跃的超大质量黑洞，比以往任何时候都更深入宇宙。这个黑洞位于宇宙大爆炸后5.7亿年形成的一个极其古老的星系——CEERS 1019内，这使它的年龄超过130亿年。科学家们困惑地发现，这个天体的中心黑洞到底有多小。

“This black hole clocks in at about 9 million solar masses,” according to a NASA news release. A solar mass is a unit equivalent to the mass of the sun in our home solar system — which is about 333.000 times larger than the Earth. That’s “far less than other black holes that also existed in the early universe and were detected by other telescopes,” according to NASA. “Those behemoths typically contain more than 1 billion times the mass of the Sun – and they are easier to detect because they are much brighter.” The ability to bring such a dim, distant black hole into focus is a key feature of the Webb telescope, which uses highly sensitive instruments to detect otherwise invisible light.

根据美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的新闻稿：“这个黑洞的质量约为900万个太阳质量。”太阳质量的单位相当于我们太阳系中太阳的质量——大约比地球大333.000倍。据美国国家航空航天局(NASA)称，这“远远低于其他望远镜探测到的早期宇宙中存在的黑洞”。“这些庞然大物的质量通常是太阳的10亿倍以上——而且它们更容易被探测到，因为它们要亮得多。”韦伯望远镜的一个关键特征是能够聚焦如此昏暗、遥远的黑洞，它使用仪器来探测原本看不见的光。

“Looking at this distant object with this telescope is a lot like looking at data from black holes that exist in galaxies near our own,” Rebecca Larson, who received her doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin this year, said in a statement. Larson, who led this discovery, is now a postdoctoral research associate at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s School of Physics and Astronomy.

今年在得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校获得博士学位的丽贝卡·拉尔森在一份声明中说：“用这台望远镜观察这个遥远的天体，就像观察我们附近星系中存在的黑洞的数据一样。”领导这一发现的拉森现在是罗切斯特理工学院物理和天文学院的博士后研究助理。
