Breakthrough Listen's Automated Commensal Technosignature Survey with MeerKAT
Daniel J. Czech, David H. E. MacMahon, Ian Heywood +20
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is an ongoing effort to detect technosignatures, evidence of technologically capable life beyond Earth. Conducting a comprehensi…
The RATT PARROT: serendipitous discovery of a peculiarly scintillating pulsar in MeerKAT imaging observations of the Great Saturn-Jupiter Conjunction of 2020. I. Dynamic imaging and data analysis
O. M. Smirnov, B. W. Stappers, C. Tasse +11
We report on a radiopolarimetric observation of the Saturn-Jupiter Great Conjunction of 2020 using the MeerKAT L-band system, initially carried out for science verification purpose…
A magnetar parallax
H. Ding, A. T. Deller, M. E. Lower +7
XTE J1810-197 (J1810) was the first magnetar identified to emit radio pulses, and has been extensively studied during a radio-bright phase in 20032008. It is estimated to be rel…
The MeerKAT Telescope as a Pulsar Facility: System verification and early science results from MeerTime
M. Bailes, A. Jameson, F. Abbate +72
We describe system verification tests and early science results from the pulsar processor (PTUSE) developed for the newly-commissioned 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope in Sout…
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…
The First Pulsar Discovered by FAST
Lei Qian, Zhichen Pan, Di Li +20
To assist with the commissioning (Jiang et al. 2019) of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we performed a pulsar search, with the primary goal of dev…
