Revival of the magnetar PSR J1622-4950: observations with MeerKAT, Parkes, XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, and NuSTAR
F. Camilo, P. Scholz, M. Serylak +205
New radio (MeerKAT and Parkes) and X-ray (XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, and NuSTAR) observations of PSR J1622-4950 indicate that the magnetar, in a quiescent state since at least ear…
A new look at old friends. I. Imaging classical radio galaxies with uGMRT and MeerKAT
B. Fanaroff, D. V. Lal, T. Venturi +9
We have undertaken a systematic study of FRI and FRII radio galaxies with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) and MeerKAT. The main goal is to explore whether the…
Engineering and Science Highlights of the KAT-7 Radio Telescope
A. R. Foley, T. Alberts, R P. Armstrong +100
The construction of the KAT-7 array in the Karoo region of the Northern Cape in South Africa was intended primarily as an engineering prototype for technologies and techniques appl…
A return to strong radio flaring by Circinus X-1 observed with the Karoo Array Telescope test array KAT-7
R. P. Armstrong, R. P. Fender, G. D. Nicolson +10
Circinus X-1 is a bright and highly variable X-ray binary which displays strong and rapid evolution in all wavebands. Radio flaring, associated with the production of a relativisti…
MeerKAT Key Project Science, Specifications, and Proposals
R. S. Booth, W. J. G. de Blok, J. L. Jonas +1
We present the specifications of the MeerKAT Karoo Array Telescope, the South African Square Kilometre Array Precursor. Some of the key science for MeerKAT is described in this doc…
Hydrodynamical Backflow in X-shaped Radio Galaxy PKS 2014-55
W. D. Cotton, K. Thorat, J. J. Condon +13
We present MeerKAT 1.28 GHz total-intensity, polarization, and spectral-index images covering the giant (projected length ~Mpc) X-shaped radio source PKS~201455…
A MeerKAT view on galaxy clusters
G. Bernardi, T. Venturi, R. Cassano +8
Almost two decades of observations of radio emission in galaxy clusters have proven the existence of relativistic particles and magnetic fields that generate extended synchrotron e…
