High energy processes can be studied by studying neutron stars. Neutron stars are numerous in our galaxy and are significant generators of high energy particles and radiation. This is due to their strong magnetic fields (up to several thousand billion Gauss), strong gravity, and fast spin rates (up to 600 times per second). Observations of high energy radiation from neutron stars are carried out using x-ray telescopes in Earth orbit. These are then compared to theory by means of making computer models of the gas, radiation,

高能过程可以通过研究中子星来研究。中子星在我们的银河系中数量众多，是高能粒子和辐射的重要发电机。这是由于它们的强磁场（高达数千亿高斯）、强引力和快速旋转速率（高达每秒600次）。利用地球轨道上的X射线望远镜对中子星的高能辐射进行观测。然后，通过制作气体、辐射、
