Chinese astronomers using FAST discovered gas-rich galaxies in the distant universe with more atomic hydrogen gas than previous surveys.

Chinese astronomers used FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, to discover a bounty of gas-rich galaxies in the distant universe. The research, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, shows these galaxies contain more atomic hydrogen gas than previously surveyed galaxies. This discovery aids in understanding the evolution of cool gas in galaxies and allows for a larger sample size for future investigations.
