چکیده
HI 21 cm absorption spectroscopy provides an excellent probe of the neutral gas content of absorbing galaxies, yielding information on their kinematics, mass, physical size and ISM conditions. The high sensitivity, unrivaled frequency coverage and RFI suppression techniques of the SKA will enable it to use HI absorption to study the ISM of high column density intervening systems along thousands of lines of sight out to high redshifts. Blind SKA 21 cm surveys will yield large, unbiased absorber samples, tracing the evolution of normal galaxies and active galactic nuclei from z & 6 to the present epoch. It will thus be possible to directly measure the physical size and mass of typical galaxies as a function of redshift and, hence, to test hierarchical models of structure formation.

We discuss the prospects for " tomography " of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshifts using the 21 cm transition of neutral hydrogen. Existing observational constraints on the epoch of reionization imply a complex ionization history that may require multiple generations of sources. The 21 cm transition provides a unique tool to probe this era in detail, because it does not suffer from...

The oscillations of a spherical body consisting of hot electron-nuclear plasma are considered. It is shown that there are two basic modes of oscillations. The estimation of the main frequencies of the solar core oscillation gives a satisfactory fit of the calculated spectrum and the measurement data.
