研究人员分析了从星系核球——即银河系的中心区域——搜集的微重力透镜研究数据。
The researchers examined data collected from microlensing surveys of what is called the Galactic Bulge, the central area of our own Milky Way.
借由“微重力透镜”效果，即从遥远距离恒星射来光线通过这些星体时会发生弯曲的现象，我们才发现了这些星体。
The objects revealed themselves by bending the light of more distant stars, an effect called "gravitational microlensing".
近年来，针对微重力透镜系统OGLE - 2006 - BLG - 109进行较详细的分析显示，部份亮度的变化是由两个类似木星及土星的行星所造成的。
Recently a detailed analysis of microlensing system OGLE-2006-BLG-109 has related brightness variations to two planets that are similar to Jupiter and Saturn of our own Solar system.
