费米泡是银河系中心（GC）上方和下方的两个巨大结构，是费米伽马射线太空望远镜最重要的发现之一。研究它们的物理起源为宇宙射线传输、银河系磁场和银河系GC过去的活动提供了有价值的见解。尽管它们的重要性，泡沫的形成机制仍然难以捉摸。在过去的几年里，有许多观测和理论上的努力来揭示泡沫的本质。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个概述，我们的理解泡沫的起源的现状，并讨论可能的未来方向，这将有助于区分不同的情况下，泡沫的形成。
The Fermi bubbles, two giant structures above and below the Galactic center (GC), are among the most important discoveries of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Studying their physical origin has been providing valuable insights into cosmic-ray transport, the Galactic magnetic field, and past activity at the GC in the Milky Way galaxy. Despite their importance, the formation mechanism of the bubbles is still elusive. Over the past few years, there have been numerous efforts, both observational and theoretical, to uncover the nature of the bubbles. In this article, we present an overview of the current status of our understanding of the bubbles’ origin, and discuss possible future directions that will help to distinguish different scenarios of bubble formation.
