The MeerKAT Fornax Survey VI. The collapse of the galaxy HI Mass Function in Fornax
D. Kleiner, P. Serra, A. Loni +6
We present the deepest HI mass Function (HIMF) ever measured, outside the Local Group. The observations are part of the MeerKAT Fornax Survey and cover a 4 x 4 deg^2 field, corresp…
HI within and around observed and simulated galaxy discs -- Comparing MeerKAT observations with mock data from TNG50 and FIRE-2
A. Marasco, W. J. G. de Blok, F. M. Maccagni +12
Atomic hydrogen (HI) is an ideal tracer of gas flows in and around galaxies, and it is uniquely observable in the nearby Universe. Here we make use of wide-field (~1 square degree)…
Searching for HI around MHONGOOSE Galaxies via Spectral Stacking
S. Veronese, W. J. G. de Blok, J. Healy +19
The observed star formation rates of galaxies in the Local Universe suggests that they are replenishing their gas reservoir across cosmic time. Cosmological simulations predict tha…
MHONGOOSE discovery of a gas-rich low-surface brightness galaxy in the Dorado Group
F. M. Maccagni, W. J. G. de Blok, P. E. Mancera Piña +28
We present the discovery of a low-mass gas-rich low-surface brightness galaxy in the Dorado Group, at a distance of 17.7 Mpc. Combining deep MeerKAT 21-cm observations from the Mee…
A depolarizing HI tidal tail in the western lobe of Fornax A
Francesca Loi, Paolo Serra, Matteo Murgia +8
Recent MeerKAT neutral hydrogen (HI) observations of Fornax A reveal tidal material intersecting in projection the western lobe of this radio galaxy. We found a spatial coincidence…
Apertif, Phased Array Feeds for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope
W. A. van Cappellen, T. A. Oosterloo, M. A. W. Verheijen +87
We describe the APERture Tile In Focus (Apertif) system, a phased array feed (PAF) upgrade of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope which has transformed this telescope into a h…
The best of both worlds: Combining LOFAR and Apertif to derive resolved radio spectral index images
R. Morganti, T. A. Oosterloo, M. Brienza +36
Supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies can cycle through periods of activity and quiescence. Characterising the duty cycle of active galactic nuclei is crucial for und…
