What can be studied thanks to SKA?
The SKA’s superior resolving power and image quality will be crucial to studying the formation and evolution of stars, galaxies and quasars, untroubled by dust. It will allow astronomers to see, for the first time, even normal galaxies at distances where cosmological effects dominate. Thanks to SKA, astronomers will study the Dark Ages and the dawn of galaxies, the earliest pre galactic structures and the evolution of large scale structure of the Universe. The SKA will observe the evolution of galaxies and the stars forming within them, exploring the roles of mergers, Dark Matter and magnetic fields in these processes. Using its highest frequencies the SKA will be able to measure redshifted molecular lines in the interstellar medium of early galaxies. The SKA will be able to measure galaxy rotation curves, giving unique information about the total Dark Matter present in those galaxies. By timing many millisecond pulsars to sub-microsecond accuracy, the SKA will be able to detect the lo
