Description
SKA is a new technology radio-telescope array, about two orders
of magnitude more sensitive and rapid in sky surveys than
present instruments. It will be able to detect and measure the redshifts
of billions of galaies at the redshifts up to z=2, to probe through baryonic
acoustic oscillations the nature of dark energy; it will probe the dark
age of the universe, just afer recombination, and during the epoch of
reionisation (z=6-15); it will be the unique instrument to map the atomic
gas in high redshift galaxies, and determine the amount and distribution
of dark matter in the early universe. We will discuss these exciting perspectives,
which will realize around 2020.
