Variability of Sagittarius A* at 3 GHz on minute-scale with MeerKAT
K. Kaur, I. Rammala-Zitha, A. Basu +21
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) exhibits temporal and spectral variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. However, variability at radio frequencies below…
MeerKAT observations of the spiral galaxy NGC 2997 in the S band. Detection of high dynamo modes
A. Damas-Segovia, R. Beck, S. A. Mao +18
We seek to exploit the expanded observational range of the MeerKAT radio telescope with the new S-band receivers (2.0-2.8 GHz). To showcase its enhanced capabilities, we conducted…
A first glimpse at the MeerKAT DEEP2 field at S-band
S. Ranchod, J. D. Wagenveld, H. -R. Klöckner +15
We present the first widefield extragalactic continuum catalogue with the MeerKAT S-band (2.5 GHz), of the radio-selected DEEP2 field. The combined image over the S1 (1.96 - 2.84 G…
TRAPUM pulsar and transient search in the Sextans A and B galaxies and discovery of background FRB 20210924D
E. Carli, L. Levin, B. W. Stappers +10
The Small and Large Magellanic Clouds are the only galaxies outside our own in which radio pulsars have been discovered to date. The sensitivity of the MeerKAT radio interferometer…
