刘慈欣笔下的“三体”，真在宇宙里找到了！近日，中国科学家团队利用中国天眼FAST等设备，首次确认了一个“活着”的脉冲星三体系统。这“一家三口”由一颗脉冲星、一颗白矮伴星、一颗类太阳恒星组成。
The “Three-Body” world depicted by Liu Cixin in his fiction has actually been discovered in the universe! Recently, a team of Chinese scientists, using China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) and other instruments, has for the first time confirmed a “living” pulsar triple system. This “family of three” consists of a pulsar, a white dwarf, and a Sun-like star.
这套新发现的“三体”系统，是诞生于同一片云团的“三兄弟”。“老大”是一颗脉冲星，刚出生时质量是太阳的20倍。“老二”是一颗白矮星，初始质量是太阳的数倍。“老三”则是一颗还在演化中的类太阳恒星，质量约等于太阳。它们在引力作用下互相环绕，构成罕见的三星体系。
This newly discovered “three-body” system is a set of three “brothers” born from the same molecular cloud. The eldest is a pulsar that weighed 20 times the mass of the Sun at birth. The middle “sibling” is a white dwarf whose initial mass was several times that of the Sun. The youngest is a still-evolving Sun-like star with a mass roughly that of the Sun. Bound together by gravity, the three stars orbit one another, forming a rare triple system.
这项发现对全球天文界意味着什么？它对宇宙研究又有什么深远的影响？本期灵感中国，带你“上太空”。
