During its ten-year operation, FAST in China has conducted extensive observations of cosmic signals such as pulsars and fast radio bursts. Multiple new pulsars were discovered, which has promoted research on the mechanisms of star formation and evolution. Relevant findings have been published in authoritative journals at home and abroad.
The international cooperation team composed of China’s FAST and the DESI made high-precision measurements of the evolution of neutral hydrogen in the universe since 4.5 billion years ago using FAST. The study found that although cosmic star formation activity decreased significantly during this period, neutral atomic hydrogen, which serves as an important gas reserve for galaxies, only experienced slow changes.
