Breakthrough Listen's Automated Commensal Technosignature Survey with MeerKAT
Daniel J. Czech, David H. E. MacMahon, Ian Heywood +20
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is an ongoing effort to detect technosignatures, evidence of technologically capable life beyond Earth. Conducting a comprehensi…
The TRAPUM Large Magellanic Cloud pulsar survey with MeerKAT I: Survey setup and first seven pulsar discoveries
V. Prayag, L. Levin, M. Geyer +15
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) presents a unique environment for pulsar population studies due to its distinct star formation characteristics and proximity to the Milky Way. As p…
TRAPUM search for pulsars in supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae -- I. Survey description and initial discoveries
J. D. Turner, B. W. Stappers, E. Carli +18
We present the description and initial results of the TRAPUM (TRAnsients And PUlsars with MeerKAT) search for pulsars associated with supernova remnants (SNRs), pulsar wind nebulae…
The SARAO MeerKAT 1.3 GHz Galactic Plane Survey
S. Goedhart, W. D. Cotton, F. Camilo +127
We present the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey (SMGPS), a 1.3 GHz continuum survey of almost half of the Galactic Plane (251° 358°and 2° 61°at $|b| \le 1.…
The TRAPUM L-band survey for pulsars in Fermi-LAT gamma-ray sources
C. J. Clark, R. P. Breton, E. D. Barr +35
More than 100 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been discovered in radio observations of gamma-ray sources detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), but hundreds of pulsar-li…
The MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey I. Survey Overview and Highlights
K. Knowles, W. D. Cotton, L. Rudnick +148
MeerKAT's large number of antennas, spanning 8 km with a densely packed 1 km core, create a powerful instrument for wide-area surveys, with high sensitivity over a wide range of an…
Simultaneous multi-telescope observations of FRB 121102
M. Caleb, B. W. Stappers, T. D. Abbott +29
We present 11 detections of FRB 121102 in ~3 hours of observations during its 'active' period on the 10th of September 2019. The detections were made using the newly deployed MeerT…
The MeerKAT Telescope as a Pulsar Facility: System verification and early science results from MeerTime
M. Bailes, A. Jameson, F. Abbate +72
We describe system verification tests and early science results from the pulsar processor (PTUSE) developed for the newly-commissioned 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope in Sout…
Inflation of 430-parsec bipolar radio bubbles in the Galactic Centre by an energetic event
I. Heywood, F. Camilo, W. D. Cotton +96
The Galactic Centre contains a supermassive black hole with a mass of 4 million suns within an environment that differs markedly from that of the Galactic disk. While the black hol…
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…
