Cosmology and High-energy Astrophysics

          This key science is to study Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and large-scale structure in the Universe to understand the origin, composition and evolution of the universe. This study also includes searching and studying of pulsar, Fast Radio Burst (FRB) as well as dark matter and dark energy. Lastly, multi-messengers are used to investigate Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), mass increment of supermassive black hole.
