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…
Radio Interferometric Calibration Using a Complex Student's t-distribution and Wirtinger Derivatives
Ulrich Armel Mbou Sob, Hertzog Landman Bester, Oleg Smirnov +2
Radio interferometric gain calibration can be biased by incomplete sky models and radio frequency interference, resulting in calibration artefacts that can restrict the dynamic ran…
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…
Neutral hydrogen gas within and around NGC 1316
P. Serra, F. M. Maccagni, D. Kleiner +20
We present MeerKAT observations of neutral hydrogen gas (HI) in the nearby merger remnant NGC 1316 (Fornax A), the brightest member of a galaxy group which is falling into the Forn…
Primary beam effects of radio astronomy antennas -- II. Modelling the MeerKAT L-band beam
K. M. B. Asad, J. N. Girard, M. de Villers +12
After a decade of design and construction, South Africa's SKA-MID precursor MeerKAT has begun its science operations. To make full use of the widefield capability of the array, it…
On the nature of the unusual transient AT 2018cow from HI observations of its host galaxy
Michał J. Michałowski, P. Kamphuis, J. Hjorth +23
Unusual stellar explosions represent an opportunity to learn about both stellar and galaxy evolution. Mapping the atomic gas in host galaxies of such transients can lead to an unde…
