Some researchers had thought magnetars wouldn't be massive enough to produce the kind of energy required for a gamma-ray burst.
一些研究者曾经认为磁星的质量不足以产生足够的能量去引发γ射线爆炸。
On top of that weirdness, magnetars have the added quirk of possessing extremely strong magnetic fields.
最奇怪的是，磁星竟然拥有极强的磁场。
Magnetars, so rare that only a dozen or so have been discovered, routinely emit high-energy x-rays and even gamma rays.
它们通常会释放出高能X-射线甚至γ-射线。但是，现今发现的磁星很少，大约只有12颗左右。
Only about a dozen magnetars are known among the billions of stars in the Milky Way.
在银河系数十亿颗恒星中只有十多个磁星被人们发现。
Magnetars are a type of neutron star ? an object so dense its protons and electrons have merged to form neutrons.
磁星是中子星的一种，它的密度非常大，其质子和电子被迫结合形成中子。
Magnetars are a type of neutron star which has a magnetic field a million billion times stronger than the Earth's.
磁星是一类磁场比地球磁场强千亿倍的中子星。
A decade ago, he says, very little was known about any connections between pulsars and magnetars.
10年前，我们对脉冲星和磁星的关联知之甚少。
