The Chinese community is playing an active role in the scientific and technical aspects of SKA. Currently Boththe China-Australia and China-UK Joint SKA PhD Programs are under way. Split across South Africa and Australia, with a headquarters in the UK, the facility. New Zealand and South Africa have also joined this summer school series. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the largest radio telescope in the world when completed in 2028.
#HE SQUARE KILOMETRE ARRAY SERIES#
As the training of the next generation of Chinese radio astronomers, The Chinese SKA Summer School Series have been organized every year since 2013. An array is a group of antennas that are. Chinese Astronomers have also actively contributed to the International SKA Science Book. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a very large radio telescope under development in South Africa and Australia. In 2014, "The Chinese SKA Strategy Report" and "The Chinese SKA Science Book" were updated.

At long wavelengths, the SKAs key science projects include the.

Currently, the SKA activities in China are supported jointly by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be a revolutionary new instrument at centimetre and metre radio wavelengths, with an effective collecting area more. The Square Kilometre Array SKA is intended to be the centimeter- and meter-wavelength telescope for the 21st century. In 2012, the Chinese government approved China’s participation in the SKA pre-construction phase. In 2011, the NAOC signed the SKAO Membership Agreement and became an initial member of SKAO (SKA Organisation) together with six other countries that lead SKA into its Pre-construction Phase (2012-2017).

It will address fundamental unanswered questions about our Universe including how the first stars and galaxies formed after the Big Bang, how dark energy is accelerating the expansion of the Universe, the role of magnetism in the cosmos, the nature of gravity, and The SKA will extend to at least 3000 km from a central core region. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Project is a global project to design and c- struct a revolutionary new radio telescope with of order 1 million square meters of collecting area in the wavelength range from3mto1cm.It will have two - ders of magnitude greater sensitivity than current telescopes and an unprecedented large instantaneous eld-of-view. The SKA will use thousands of dishes and up to a million antennas that will enable astronomers to monitor the sky in unprecedented detail and survey the entire sky thousands of times faster than any system currently in existence. It is a joint venture by more than 10 countries including China. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, with a square kilometer of collecting area.
