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 1.28 GHz MeerKAT Galactic Center Mosaic
I. Heywood, I. Rammala, F. Camilo +108
The inner 200 pc region of the Galaxy contains a 4 million M supermassive black hole (SMBH), significant quantities of molecular gas, and star formation and cosmic…
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…
The 1.28 GHz MeerKAT DEEP2 Image
T. Mauch, W. D. Cotton, J. J. Condon +101
We present the confusion-limited 1.28 GHz MeerKAT DEEP2 image covering one FWHM primary beam area with FWHM resolution and Jy/beam rms nois…
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…
A Decade of Developing Radio-Astronomy Instrumentation using CASPER Open-Source Technology
Jack Hickish, Zuhra Abdurashidova, Zaki Ali +33
The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) has been working for a decade to reduce the time and cost of designing, building and deploying n…
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…
New Limits on Polarized Power Spectra at 126 and 164 MHz: Relevance to Epoch of Reionization Measurements
David Moore, James E. Aguirre, Saul Kohn +15
Polarized foreground emission is a potential contaminant of attempts to measure the fluctuation power spectrum of highly redshifted 21 cm HI emission from the epoch of reionization…
Multi-redshift limits on the 21cm power spectrum from PAPER
Daniel C. Jacobs, Jonathan C. Pober, Aaron R. Parsons +15
The epoch of reionization power spectrum is expected to evolve strongly with redshift, and it is this variation with cosmic history that will allow us to begin to place constraints…
A Flux Scale for Southern Hemisphere 21cm EoR Experiments
Daniel C. Jacobs, Aaron R. Parsons, James E. Aguirre +14
We present a catalog of spectral measurements covering a 100-200 MHz band for 32 sources, derived from observations with a 64-antenna deployment of the Donald C. Backer Precision A…
New Limits on 21cm EoR From PAPER-32 Consistent with an X-Ray Heated IGM at z=7.7
