Peking University describes his story
- More exciting and "crazy" than imagined
A doctor of astronomy who is obsessed with the starry sky
November 9, 2023
Ph.D., Department of Astronomy, School of Physics, Peking University, 2017
Kaixiang Wang is the independent first author and co-corresponding author
The paper was published in the top international scientific journal Nature
It is revealed that dwarf galaxies are disintegrated and stripped apart in the dense environment of galaxy clusters
and gradually evolve into a complete process of ultra-dense dwarf galaxies
Unraveled what had puzzled astronomers for a long time
The mystery of the origin of supercompact dwarf galaxies
This achievement was originally a "small topic" for his second Ph.D. practice
In order to enrich it into a "big article" in the top journal
throughout the study
Wang Kaixiang works hard with a scientific research attitude of "not compromised".
In order to fully communicate with mentors and collaborators who are far away
He transcends the constraints of time zones
Strive to ensure effective communication online
In order for the data to be "clean" enough
He was as careful as other researchers had
Deal with complex data
In order to obtain more high-quality follow-up observation data
He works hard with his mentors to apply every year
Observation time of large 8-10 meter telescopes in the world......
For him
Doing astronomical research is the happiest thing
It's not because of what kind of paper can be sent
It's because I love the feeling of exploring and being illuminated
At work in the early hours of the morning
Sitting in front of a computer and struggling with data
Maybe suddenly there was a wonderful discovery
It felt like a beam of light from the depths of the universe traveling through time and space
Shine on the data, shine on the heart
Explorers who push the envelope
This astronomy doctor who is obsessed with the starry sky
For exploring the mountains and challenging the limits
There is also a crazy yearning
From the 10 km off-road race
to the 42 km mountain marathon
Then to the 100-kilometer cross-country race
Wang Kaixiang rushed step by step to the palace-level event UTMB of trail running
The UTMB is held in the Alps
The annual Tour de Mont Blanc trail run
Considered one of the hardest trail running events in Europe
On September 1, 2023, the UTMB-CCC group will start
Wang Kaixiang prepares for the game
While preparing for the publication of the Nature paper
In his opinion
The experience of extreme cross-country racing is like the process of scientific research
For the sake of one goal, we have been persisting in this direction
There may be ups and downs along the way
Go through peaks and troughs
Eventually, we will be able to reach the finish line

Except for trail running

Running in a solar eclipse in Manchuria Photo by Wang Kaixiang
At the time of filming "Running in a Solar Eclipse".
Wang Kaixiang arrived in the Manchurian grassland
When exploring a shooting site
The car suddenly sank into the mud
It took them two or three hours to find help
Considering that it is too late to find the original spot
So he changed his plan on the fly
Found a small slope
15 minutes before the start of the eclipse
Prepare your photographic equipment
Completed this photoshoot
This vignette made Wang Kaixiang sigh
"That's the norm for a lot of things
What is expected is not 100% perfect
But you are always in your finite imperfections
Perform at your best"
In Wang Kaixiang's view, people are small
But you can keep creating and experiencing
He said he had many, many adventure dreams
will keep the fire in your heart
用一辈子去"疯"

It inspires more people
Keep climbing and chasing
Live your life to the fullest!
