Neutral Hydrogen in the Universe

这一提议将提高我们对银河系等星系的起源和持续演化的理解。为此，它将使用强大的新望远镜，如西澳大利亚CSIRO正在建造的澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路器(ASKAP)，以及将由珀斯新的帕西平方公里阵列(SKA)科学高性能计算中心提供的新超级计算机。结合天体物理和信息技术领域的专业知识，该提案中概述的研究将通过建立一个强大的科学家社区，能够为SKA最重要的目标之一开发科学和信息和通信技术组件，从而进一步推动澳大利亚申办SKA。

This proposal will improve our understanding of the origin and continuing evolution of galaxies like our own Milky Way. It will do so by using powerful new telescopes such as the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), being constructed by CSIRO in Western Australia, and new supercomputers to be provided by the new Pawsey High Performance Computing Centre for Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Science in Perth. Combined with expertise in areas of astrophysics and information technology, the research outlined in this proposal will further advance the case for Australia's bid to host the SKA by establishing a strong community of scientists capable of developing the science and Information and Communication Technologies components for one of the SKA's most important goals.
