Hello
My name is Yang Yang (杨阳).
I am currently a post-doctoral researcher in astrophysics at the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO), Chinese Academy of Sciences.
I completed my Ph.D. in Astrophysics at Nanjing University in China.
Prior to moving to PMO, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory.
My research primarily focuses on studying the feedback mechanisms of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in nearby galaxies.
As a member of the Continuum Halos of Nearly Galaxies – an EVLA Survey (CHANG-ES) ,
I have extensively analyzed deep VLA radio data to understand AGN feedback activity at various scales.
This involves investigating how AGNs impact their surrounding environment and the role they play in galaxy evolution.
I am familiar with both the observation and data reduction processes involved in utilizing the VLA.
By employing multi-band observational results, I have explored the influence of nuclear activity on the surrounding medium,
allowing for the clearest observable evidence in unraveling the complexities of AGN feedback.
More recently, I have broadened my research interests to include the study of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and intergalactic medium (IGM) within galaxies and galaxy clusters.
In collaboration with colleagues, I primarily contribute to this topic mainly by studying the low surface density HI gas in CGM/IGM with FAST observations.
I am also leading a new observational research project HIMALAYA, on the extended HI gas disk of massive galaxies.
Even more, I will expand my research into high-redshift galaxies with our new CO observations.
