The cycle can repeat itself in pulses—astronomers call this case a “pulsational” pair-instability supernova—until the star loses enough mass to end its life in an ordinary supernova.
这个过程可能周而复始，周期性地重复--天文学家称之为"脉动"对不稳定性超新星--直至恒星失去足够的物质，在普通超新星的形态中走到生命的尽头。
This star is known to vary in brightness over a regular time interval. The cycle lasts exactly 2 days, 20 hours and 49 minutes.
这颗星星因为亮度变化比一般星星的变化间隔时间要长。周期持续整整2天零20个小时零49分钟。
At the dimmest part of a Cepheid's cycle, the ionized gas in the outer layers of the star is opaque, and so is heated by the star's radiation, and due to the increased temperature, begins to expand.
在造父变星的一个光变周期内，恒星外层的电离气体是相对不透明的，因此会吸收恒星的辐射而升温，并开始向外膨胀。
