Recent data indicate one or more moderately nearby supernovae in the Early Pleistocene, with additional events likely in the Miocene. This has motivated more detailed computations, using new information about the nature of supernovae and the distances of these events to describe in more detail the sorts of effects that are indicated at the Earth. This short communication/review is designed to describe some of these effects so that they may possibly be related to changes in the biota around these times.
最近的数据表明，早更新世有一颗或多颗距离相对较近的超新星爆发，中新世可能也有其他超新星爆发事件。这促使人们进行更详细的计算，利用有关超新星性质和这些事件距离的新信息，更详细地描述在地球上所显示出的各种影响。这篇简短的通讯/综述旨在描述其中一些影响，以便它们可能与这些时期生物群的变化有关。
