"China's Eye" has made a breakthrough in detecting nanohertz gravitational waves | China | nanohertz gravitational waves "China
The Chinese pulsar time array research team, which is composed of scientific researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units, has recently used the "China Celestial Eye" FAST to detect the key evidence of the existence of the nanohertz gravitational waves, which is an important breakthrough in the search for the nanohertz gravitational waves.
This discovery marks the synchronization of China's detection and research of nanohertz gravitational waves to the world's leading level, and is of great significance for understanding issues such as supermassive black holes, galaxy merging history, and the formation of large-scale structures in the universe.
More than 780 pulsars have been discovered, the first sustained active repeated rapid radio burst has been discovered, and the shortest orbital period pulsar binary system has been discovered to date... With its ultra-high sensitivity, the "Chinese Eye" has produced a series of heavyweight discoveries, making continuous contributions to exploring more mysteries of the universe.
