SXP 15.6 -- an accreting pulsar close to spin equilibrium?

M. J. Coe, I. M. Monageng, J. A. Kennea +12

SXP 15.6 is a recently established Be star X-ray binary system (BeXRB) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Like many such systems the variable X-ray emission is driven by the unde…

Serendipitous discovery of radio flaring behaviour from a nearby M dwarf with MeerKAT

Alex Andersson, Rob Fender, Chris Lintott +12

We report on the detection of MKT J174641.0321404, a new radio transient found in untargeted searches of wide-field MeerKAT radio images centred on the black hole X-ray binary H…

21 new long-term variables in the GX 339-4 field: two years of MeerKAT monitoring

L. N. Driessen, B. W. Stappers, E. Tremou +14

We present 21 new long-term variable radio sources found commensally in two years of weekly MeerKAT monitoring of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 339-4. The new sources vary on time s…

MeerCRAB: MeerLICHT Classification of Real and Bogus Transients using Deep Learning

Zafiirah Hosenie, Steven Bloemen, Paul Groot +13

Astronomers require efficient automated detection and classification pipelines when conducting large-scale surveys of the (optical) sky for variable and transient sources. Such pip…

Multi-frequency observations of SGR J1935+2154

M. Bailes, C. G. Bassa, G. Bernardi +54

Magnetars are a promising candidate for the origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The detection of an extremely luminous radio burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 on 2020…

GW190814 follow-up with the optical telescope MeerLICHT

S. de Wet, P. J. Groot, S. Bloemen +8

The Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave observatories detected a signal on 2019 August 14 during their third observing run, named GW190814. A large number of electromagnetic…
