The "China Sky Eye" ultra-deep field survey discovered the farthest neutral hydrogen galaxy, a "blind search" in depth

Release time:May 10, 2024 10:17 AM

Taking advantage of its high sensitivity and large field of view, the "China Sky Eye" discovered a batch of the most distant neutral hydrogen galaxy samples in the ultra-deep field survey project, providing evidence that there were more massive neutral hydrogen galaxies in the universe 4.2 billion years ago. Observational evidence. On May 10, the results were published online in the international scientific journal "Astrophysics Letters".

Hydrogen is the earliest element to form in the universe and usually exists as neutral hydrogen. Neutral hydrogen is an important component of gas circulation in galaxies, provides fuel for star formation regions, and is also an important probe for studying the dynamic structure of galaxies. The neutral hydrogen rotation curve provides observational evidence for the existence of dark matter and provides a solid foundation for the establishment of the standard universe model.

Previously, the Parkes 64-meter radio telescope in Australia and the Arecibo 305-meter radio telescope in the United States detected about 5,000 and 30,000 neutral hydrogen galaxies respectively. These galaxy samples gave the mass distribution of neutral hydrogen galaxies for the first time, allowing astronomers to systematically study neutral hydrogen galaxies. The relationship between hydrogen gas, stellar mass and star formation rate.

The FAST ultra-deep field survey project led by Peng Bo, a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, takes full advantage of FAST's high sensitivity and the large field of view of the 19-beam receiver to conduct a deep "blind search" for distant and faint neutral hydrogen galaxies. In the pilot survey, the project team discovered six neutral hydrogen galaxies about 5 billion light-years away. This is the most distant sample of neutral hydrogen galaxies ever directly detected using the 21 cm emission line, and one of the galaxies has the largest neutral hydrogen mass yet.

The project team estimated the density of massive neutral hydrogen galaxies in the sample and found that there were more massive neutral hydrogen galaxies in the universe 4.2 billion years ago. Through the dark energy spectrometer spectral line data of their collaborators and multi-band observations from multiple optical telescopes, they successfully found the optical counterparts of these six distant neutral hydrogen galaxies. This shows that in the detection of distant galaxies, FAST provides a new way to detect distant neutral hydrogen galaxies.

Release these new signals, two billion yuan fines! China's Anti Monopoly Enforcement Swords to Livelihood | Field | Enforcement

China's antitrust enforcement, which has received widespread social attention, has recently seen new trends. According to information recently disclosed by the State Administration for Market Regulation, since the beginning of this year, the national market supervision system has carried out a special action on anti-monopoly law enforcement in the field of people's livelihood, continuously strengthening anti-monopoly law enforcement in the field of people's livelihood, and has made phased progress. The first batch of 13 major typical monopoly cases that were centrally investigated and dealt with have been announced to the society, mainly involving drugs, public utilities, insurance and other fields. Some companies have even been fined billions of yuan by market regulatory authorities. Through the first batch of published typical cases, we can see some important signals from them. Not only are there enterprises on the "black list", but also the first batch of 13 typical cases announced by administrative units in this special anti monopoly law enforcement action. Among them, 5 cases occurred in the pharmaceutical field and 8 cases occurred

Developing Efficient Gobi Agriculture in Xinjiang and Scaling Production of Greenhouse Flowers for Export to Gobi Desert Abroad | Yingjisha County | Production

CCTV News: Located in Yingjisha County, Kashgar Prefecture, southwestern Xinjiang, the Gobi Desert covers an area of 3.28 million acres. In recent years, the local government has developed Gobi agriculture according to local conditions, built solar greenhouses to plant flowers, and exported orders to foreign countries. At present, the roses in Yingjisha County, Xinjiang are in the harvest period. Entering the sunlight greenhouse, the roses are charming and fragrant. Planters are picking fresh flowers in the flower field. It is understood that local flowers such as lilies and roses have been planted. Among them, roses can be harvested from 4 to 5 crops per year, with an annual yield of up to 50000 branches. The local government has also introduced an intelligent Internet of Things control system, which allows farmers to control the system to complete tasks such as watering and atomization, improving planting efficiency. Yingjisha County is adjacent to the border port, and compared to transporting flowers to domestic cities, the export of fresh flowers here is more convenient
