SMGPS: A study of Galactic HII regions with extended morphology

Athanaseus J. T. Ramaila, Mark A. Thompson, Oleg M. Smirnov +7

The paper uses the MeerKAT 1.3 GHz Galactic Plane Survey to identify and characterize 1,327 Galactic H II regions, providing distances, Lyman‑photon fluxes, ionising star spectral…

Determination of kinematic distances of WISE & SMGPS H II regions in the Galactic plane using SEDIGISM cloud association

Moses Langa, Mark Thompson, Andrew Rigby +7

The paper presents a method to assign kinematic distances to H II regions by associating them with molecular clouds from the SEDIGISM 13CO survey, producing a catalog of distances…

Extending the SKA Across Africa: The Case for a Continental African VLBI Network

Emmanuel K. Bempong-Manful, Jompoj Wongphechauxsorn, Jack Radcliffe +31

The African continent holds the key to unlocking the full potential of global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). Strategic placement of radio telescopes across Africa provid…

H II regions and supernova remnants associated with molecular clouds: A pilot study with the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey

Moses O. Langa, Mark A. Thompson, Andrew J. Rigby +5

Massive stars (mass beyond 8 solMass) release vast amounts of energy into the interstellar medium through their stellar winds, photoionising radiation and supernova explosions. The…

The SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey compact source catalogue

Mubela Mutale, Mark A. Thompson, Gwenllian M. Williams +11

We present a catalogue of compact sources detected in the SARAO MeerKAT 1.3 GHz Galactic Plane Survey (SMGPS). We extract 510599 compact sources, with areas less than five 8" beams…

Non-thermal Radio Emission from Massive Protostars in the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey

W. O Obonyo, M. G Hoare, S. L Lumsden +7

We present an investigation of the L-band emission from known massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) in the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey to search for non-thermal radio emitt…
