Now Kirkpatrick is part of the WISE science team, ready to search again for any signs of a companion to our Sun.
现在克里克帕特里克是本次任务团队的一份子了，已经为再次搜寻太阳的伴星做好了准备。This tail eventually settles into a dense, thick disk that swirls around the companion.
这条尾巴最终将会并入一层绕著伴星打转的紧密厚实盘面中。"I think the possibility that the Sun could harbor a companion of another sort is not a crazy idea, " said Kirkpatrick.
“我认为太阳隐藏了一颗异种伴星的想法并不疯狂”，克里克帕特里克如此说。All over the desert we distribute lion bait containing large amounts of the companion star of Sirius.
在整个沙漠中我们投放大量含有大量天狼伴星的狮子诱饵。Part of a binary star system, the compact white dwarf gradually captured material from its companion star.
作为一个双星系统的一部分，这颗致密的白矮星慢慢地从它的伴星上吸积物质。Spitzer's infrared vision revealed the size of the dusty disk that swirls around the companion object.
斯皮策的红外线观测揭示了环绕这个伴星的星尘带的大小。The companion and disk enter a spiral orbit inside the body of the larger star, reshaping and flattening it from within.
伴星和盘面以螺旋状轨道进入大恒星体内，并由内部使其重塑且趋向平坦。Those in a binary star system may have a strong enough gravitational pull to gather in material from a neighboring star.
那些双星系统中的白矮星可能有足够强大的引力，能从伴星上吸聚物质。Like the nearest black hole, the farthest is also feasting on a normal companion star.
和最近的黑洞一样，这个最远的黑洞也在疯狂吞噬者一颗常见的伴星。
