Construction antenna detects low frequency waves in the universe

Leading astronomers from 9 countries around the world will meet to plan the construction of SKA, a hub for low-frequency wave detection antennas in Perth this week.

Organized by the International Astronomical Research Center (ICRAR), the seminar attracted more than 75 researchers from Australia, India, Italy, New Zealand, Malta, Netherlands, South Africa, England and the United States.

Peter Hall, Vice President of ICRAR and workshop organizer, said the workshop program includes the design and installation of antennas to enable SKA to detect low frequency radio waves of all objects in the Universe. cylinder.

Australia and New Zealand are keen to win the right to build SKA, but Australia is likely to be chosen by meeting the criteria set by the scientists.

SKA can observe the universe at longer wavelengths than similar antennas operating at high frequencies with the main purpose of understanding the early formation of the universe.

"With new signal processing technology and technology, the antenna is able to detect transient radio waves or just blinking signals," Peter Hall said.

The position to build SKA requires quietness because it is particularly sensitive to radio interference. Australia seems to meet this criterion and will probably be chosen to center here.

All countries participating in the workshop are keen to contribute to the project and hope that Trung will make a great contribution to the future of space science.
