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…

A MeerKAT view of pre-processing in the Fornax A group

D. Kleiner, P. Serra, F. M. Maccagni +18

We present MeerKAT neutral hydrogen (HI) observations of the Fornax A group, that is likely falling into the Fornax cluster for the first time. Our HI image is sensitive to 1.4 x 1…

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…
