Dragon Man

✨✨✨ It's a GO for #SKAconstruction! ✨✨✨ The SKAO Council has given the green light: after years of preparation, construction of the world's two largest and most complex radio telescope networks can now start! Read our press release: loom.ly/2xbk0v8

doi.org/10.1016/j.scib… We developed an artificial intelligence-based tool for celestial source finding called "HeTu" (河图). It is characterized by fast operation, high accuracy, the ability to identify and classify multiple objects simultaneously, and good scalability.

Good news from Switzerland 🇨🇭, where the Federal Council today approved Swiss accession to the SKAO, the final national step in the process! We will formally welcome Switzerland to the Observatory early in the New Year.
