Fu Liping, assistant professor of SHNU key laboratory of galaxies and cosmography, played a pivotal role in an international cooperation program which became the first to discover the lens signals of the ultra-weak gravitation in the universe as Albert Einstein predicted in his general theory of relativity, resulting from the large-scale structure of the cosmos. Namely, the scale of it has run up to 270,000,000 light-years of ramified distribution of dark matter, thrice that of the maximum of former detection, which has been proved to be of great significance to the development of this program.
The result of Fu’s research came after 3 years of her strenuous work, analyzing millions of heavenly bodies with an astronomical digital camera Megacam from a Canadian-French-Hawaii telescope. Her research results are published on a world-renowned academic magazine Astronomy & Astrophysics, hitting the headlines of France’s CNRS and CFHT, as well as online report, the main achievements of which can be downloaded at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361:20078522. |
