The distinction of "largest explosions in the universe" has been bestowed on cosmic gamma-ray bursts. Their afterglows are brighter than supernovae and therefore are called hypernovae. Photometry and spectroscopy of these afterglows have provided major breakthroughs in our understanding of this mysterious phenomenon.
“宇宙中最大规模的爆炸”这一殊荣已赋予了宇宙伽马射线暴。它们的余辉比超新星更亮,因此被称为超新星爆发。这些余辉的光度测量和光谱分析在我们对这一神秘现象的理解上取得了重大突破。
