About the webinar
CSST is a 2m space-based telescope, designed to work in Low Earth Orbit for 10 years from ~2024. It will image 17,500 square degrees in six near-UV and optical bands (u,g,r,i,z,y) to an average depth of 25.5 AB (5-sigma point source) and a combined depth of 26 AB (5-sigma point source), with the angular resolution R80 = 0.15", providing a unique and promising platform to study the structure of the dark matter universe and to probe the nature of dark matter. In this webinar, I will review the research of dark matter universe at the era of CSST.
