They're so powerful that astronomers call them hypernovae.
它们非常强大,天文学家称它们为超超新星。

Long ones are from hypernovae, massive stars exploding, sending out twin beams of matter and energy.

When you look at the duration of all the bursts detected, they divide pretty well into two groups: ones that last longer than two seconds, and come from hypernovae, and ones that are much more rapid.
A hypernova (pl. hypernovae or hypernovas) is a type of star explosion with an energy substantially higher than that of standard supernovae. An alternative term for most hypernova is "superluminous supernova" (SLSN). Such explosions are thought to be the origin of long-duration gamma-ray bursts.
