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

One of the fundamental requirements for studying and understanding Galactic structure and massive star formation is accurate distances to H II regions. However, most distance assig…

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…

The stellar population in the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey

Okwudili D. Egbo, David A. H. Buckley, Paul J. Groot +5

We report on optically selected stellar candidates of SARAO MeerKAT 1.3 GHz radio continuum survey sources of the Galactic plane. Stellar counterparts to radio sources are selected…

The SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey extended source catalogue

C. Bordiu, S. Riggi, F. Bufano +18

We present a catalogue of extended radio sources from the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey (SMGPS). Compiled from 56 survey tiles and covering approximately 500 deg across t…

The SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey filamentary source catalogue

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

We present a catalogue of filamentary structures identified in the SARAO (South African Radio Astronomy Observatory) MeerKAT 1.3 GHz Galactic Plane Survey (SMGPS). We extract 933 f…

PAMS: The Perseus Arm Molecular Survey -- I. Survey description and first results

Andrew J. Rigby, Mark A. Thompson, David J. Eden +7

The external environments surrounding molecular clouds vary widely across galaxies such as the Milky Way, and statistical samples of clouds are required to understand them. We pres…

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 Co-Ordinated Radio and Infrared Survey for High-Mass Star Formation. V. The CORNISH-South Survey and Catalogue

T. Irabor, M. G. Hoare, M. Burton +32

We present the first high spatial resolution radio continuum survey of the southern Galactic plane. The CORNISH project has mapped the region defined by $295^{\circ} < l < 350^{\ci…

A population of hypercompact HII regions identified from young HII regions

Aiyuan Yang, James Urquhart, Mark Thompson +8

Context. The derived physical parameters for young HII regions are normally determined assuming the emission region to be optically thin. However, this assumption is unlikely to ho…
